  4. Next grab your two different colored paper plates. Set one aside for now.
  5. Go ahead and cut the second paper plate in half, straight up the center to create two equal pieces.
  6. Take that paper plate piece and use your marker to draw a crisscross/quilted pattern on the paper plate half.

  8. 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.
  9. Add any other embellishments you see fit to complete the sleeping bear craft.
  10. When done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
