Handprint Polar Bear Puppet Craft

This fun and easy handprint polar bear paper craft is perfect for kids of all ages! It’s a great way to get into the winter spirit and make your own polar bear puppet within minutes!

Craft Supplies:

  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Bear Printable – on our landing page
  • Black Marker
  • Colored Markers
  • Paper Scissors
  • Glue Stick
  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
  • White Cotton Balls
  • Embellishments

Directions:

  • First pick a hand – any hand will do!
  • Lay it flat on your blank piece of white paper.
  • Trace around your hand with a marker.
  • Go ahead and trim out the traced design from the paper.
  • Repeat for each puppet you want to make today {you need ONE paper handprint cutout per polar bear puppet.}
  • Now it’s time for the head embellishment! Take your printed printable and decorate one of the head designs however you like. We did a simple blue and pink marker nose and black eyes on ours.
  • When done, trim out the head piece and set aside the remaining paper for repeating the craft later on.
  • Now grab your two paper cutouts and the jumbo popsicle stick.
  • Start off by gluing the white handprint to the wood stick. This is done by simply putting a dab of glue on the finger in the middle and then placing it on one end of the popsicle stick.
  • Follow that up by gluing the polar bear’s head shape where the thumb would be.
  • To finish off the Handprint Polar Bear -cut your white cotton ball into fourths and glue it to the finished puppet.
  • At this point in time you can add other embellishments to make cute handprint stand out from the crowd!
  • Then set it all aside to let it dry completely before the puppet show!
  • Don’t forget to save them after you play, in a scrapbook for safekeeping!

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
