Directions:
- First things first – download and print out the teddy bear printable on brown cardstock paper.
- Use scissors to trim out one of the bear shapes. Save the second design for repeating the sleepy bear in bed craft.
- Go ahead and use a marker to draw on some “sleeping” eyes on your cutout.
- Next grab your two different colored paper plates. Set one aside for now.
- Go ahead and cut the second paper plate in half, straight up the center to create two equal pieces.
- Take that paper plate piece and use your marker to draw a crisscross/quilted pattern on the paper plate half.
- Now grab all your paper pieces and the teddy bear cutout. Start off by gluing the teddy bear cutout to the center of the uncut, larger paper plate.
- Follow that up by either gluing {or stapling} the second half paper plate {his blanket} on top. You will want his arms to slightly stick out as well.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit to complete the sleeping bear craft.
- When done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
