DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Bear St. Patrick's Day Wreath

This is a fun wreath to do by yourself or with a group.

Trace a small plate and a large plate onto a piece of old cardboard.
Empty cereal boxes or frozen dinner boxes work well.
It doesn't matter if you go over the folds of the cardboard
Cut a small strip of cardboard and glue it onto the back of the ring over any folds in the cardboard.
This will reinforce the ring.
Cut strips of construction paper (about 1 1/2 inches by 4 inches).
Glue the strips into rolls (like making a paper chain)
Glue the rolls of construction paper onto the wreath. We made a green pattern, but you can do it however you wish.
Print out the craft template of choice.
Color the template pieces and cut out.
Glue the head, hat, bowtie, shamrock and two paws on top of the wreath.
Glue the body, tummy and two paws on the back of the wreath (so it looks like the bear is peeking over the top).

After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
• In most browsers: Print → More settings → Margins → Minimum
• Or use Page Setup / Printer Setup in your printer dialog
