Valentine Bear Craft for Kids

Instructions

Step 1:

Select a colored paper for the bear and a different colored paper for the card in the middle. You can decorate the card as you want so select colored craft papers accordingly. I would let my kids pick the colors here to include them in this craft.

Trace the bear body and hand patterns on the paper selected for the bear and cut out the patterns using scissors.

Trace and cut out the inner ear patterns, the mouth, the nose and
blush patterns from colored craft papers as well.  

Step 2:

Attach the inner ear patterns (lighter color card) in the middle of the main ear parts of the bear pattern.

Attach the 2 small circular cutouts on both cheeks and the mouth part in the lower middle part of the head. This parts are all labelled on my template so have it to hand while you are following this.

Step 3:

Attach the eyes and attach the nose on the top middle part of the mouth pattern. Use a pen to draw the mouth below the nose (kids can do this bit). They can also draw eye brows above the eyes and make them as thick as they like.

Step 4:

Attach the 2 hands on both sides of the bear as shown on the picture.

Step 5:

Using scissors trim and align the outer ends of the hand so that they are in line with the body.

Step 6:

Fold the card template and decorate the card as you want. You could add glitter and sequins!

Step 7:

Slide the card under the 2 paws/hands of the bear. These Valentine bears are perfect for a Valentine Day card.
