Get ready to bring a touch of winter fun indoors with a craft that’s as delightful to make as it is to display! This snow tubing bears project uses a surprising art tool – a pool noodle – to create a cold-weather activity within minutes. It’s a wonderful way for kids to get creative while developing fine motor skills.
This project combines stamping, painting, and drawing into one charming scene. It’s simple enough for younger children to enjoy with some help, yet engaging enough for older kids to add their own creative details. Let’s gather our supplies and make some winter magic!
Craft Supplies:
Here’s what you’ll need to kick off your pool noodle stamped snow tubing bears craft. Most of these items are probably already in your home!
- Free MINI Bear Printable – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper {two sheets!}
- Scissors
- School Glue
- Small Paper Plate
- Pool Noodle Slice
- Craft Paint
- Embellishments
Directions:
Lay down newspaper, a plastic table cover, or an old sheet to avoid messes on your table or floor. Set out all the materials within easy reach to keep things stress-free.
- Start by downloading and printing the FREE printable provided above. Each printable includes six cutouts for you to use.
- IF desired, choose your favorite coloring supplies and begin decorating two or more of the body shapes. Customize each bear design however you’d like to add your personal touch.
- Once you’ve finished decorating, carefully cut out the designs using scissors.
- Gather your materials: a piece of pool noodle, white paper, a small paper plate, and craft paint.
- Pour a generous amount of craft paint onto the paper plate, then dip one end of the pool noodle into the paint.
- Imagine the white paper as your “ski slope.” Use the painted pool noodle to stamp several “O” shapes onto the paper, creating the look of a pool raft.
- Next, glue your decorated bear cutout onto the center of each stamped floatie. Position them so they appear to be sliding down the snowy hill.
- Add extra embellishments like tree themed stickers, glitter, or rhinestones to make your artwork pop and truly one of a kind.
- Once everything is complete, display your snowy hill pool float stamped artwork proudly for everyone to see!
