DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Mother's Day Bear Paper Craft

The Mother's Day bear paper craft can be used instead of a card (just print a message to mom on the back).  Gardening gifts are some of my favorite and I think this craft is a great hint that a trip to the garden center is what the girls have in store for me for Mother's Day!

Tip:  Add a little message like: 

Have a 'bear-y' good Mother's Day!

We love you 'bear-y' much!

or

You're a 'bear-y' good mom!
 

Materials:

• paper,
• glue,
• scissors,
• Optional:  something to color with

Craft Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice.  You need both templates to make one bear for mom.
• Color (if making the black and white craft).
• Cut out the template pieces.  (The pieces on the template are at about the angle they will be on the finished craft.� That should help you sort out which pieces belong where).
• Glue pieces together:
  • Glue the smaller oval (tummy) onto the large oval body.
  • Add the arms and legs onto the body
  • Glue on the head.
  • Add the muzzle and eyes.
  • Add the nose
  • Glue on the hat.
  • Glue the flowerpot into one hand and the trowel into the other.

Craft 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).
