What kind of bears have you seen? We saw a panda and a brown bear. Are you familiar with them? They are extremely large, furry animals and are often seen smiling and playing around.

When you think of bears, I’m sure you also think of honey!

The bears scratched their noses and looked grumpy.

You probably know Winnie the Pooh. What about Mishka, from the cartoon Masha and the Bear?

But they are friendly and nice, aren’t they?

That’s the kind of bear we’re going to make today, a friendly brown bear that steals honey.

How to make a paper plate bear craft

What you need:

• three paper plates (one small and two large)
• two bulging eyes
• circular ruler
• a dark brown acrylic paint
• a white self-adhesive foam sheet
• two brown pom poms (one small and one large)
• a perforated circle
• light brown cardboard
• glue
• comb
• pencil
• drag

Step by step instructions

Take a large paper plate and coat both sides with brown acrylic paint.

Cut a large circle from white self-adhesive foam …

…and glue it to the center of the paper plate.

Tail

Apply a little glue to a large brown shuttlecock and stick it to the back of a paper plate.

That will be our bear’s tail.

Head

Take the smaller paper plate and coat both sides with brown acrylic paint…

… then glue it to the larger one as shown.

Foot

Take the remaining large paper plate and coat both sides with brown acrylic paint…

… then use a pencil to draw four feet.

Cut them out…

…and glue them to the body as shown.

On a piece of light brown cardboard, draw sixteen small circles (use a circular ruler).

Apply some glue to them and place them on the feet (four on each foot).

On the light brown cardboard, draw four foot pads as shown in the picture…

…and stick them to your feet.

snout

That will be the bear’s snout.

Take the smaller pom-pom and glue it to the bear’s snout.

Eye

Draw two circles on light brown cardboard (use a circular ruler), cut them out and glue them to the face.

Then put the googly eyes on.

Ears

Using the circle punch, cut two circles from the third paper plate.

That would be the ear.
