Polar Bear Toilet Paper Roll Craft

This is a fun and easy color, cut and paste polar bear craft.  The craft uses a toilet paper roll as a base to give the projects a three dimensional effect.

There isn't too much coloring to do because the polar bear is white. You can add a bit of torn up cotton ball to the body to make him fluffy if you want the craft project to take a bit longer.

Materials:

• toilet paper roll or cardboard tube,
• a printer,
• something to color with,
• scissors,
• glue,
• and paper.

Instructions:

• Print out the craft template of choice.
• Color (if using the black and white version of the craft) and cut out the template pieces.
• Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.  Toilet paper rolls come in slightly different sizes, so if you find the rectangle is a bit too big, just trim it down.  If you find it's a bit too small, just cut out another small piece to fill in the gap.
• Glue the oval piece to the front and center of the tube as the polar bear's tummy.
• Glue the head onto the top of the tube.
• Glue the arms to the sides of the tube. You can fold the ends of the arms a little if that helps you get the arms in the position you like.
• Fold the tabs on the feet and glue them onto the body to give a three dimensional effect.
• Glue the yummy fish into one of the polar bear's paws.

Templates:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
