Step-By-Step Guide To Make A Paper Plate Bear
STEP 1
Colour the entire paper plate with brown acrylic paint. Let it dry. Acrylic paint will give it a thicker look. Otherwise, watercolours are also fine.
STEP 2
Print the template and let kids colour the shapes (nose/mouth, eyes and ears).
You can follow the same colours as shown or let them go wild with colour selection. Use crayons or colour pencils for this.
Finally, cut out the shapes.
STEP 3
Stick the mouth and nose together and glue them to the bottom part of the paper plate.
Step 4
Stick the eyes and ears as shown in the below image.
That’s pretty much it. Let it dry for a bit and the brown bear is ready to go!
