Polar Bear Craft the kids will love to create during winter! Check out all of our fun Paper Plate Crafts for kids!

Polar Bear Paper Plate Arctic Craft

I know that I shouldn’t be complaining, but it’s felt like the arctic cold has reached Florida!

Which is perfect for learning about the winter months and the arctic.

This polar bear craft is the perfect addition for preschoolers and elementary children learning an Arctic lesson.

Quickly became one of our favorite winter homeschooling lessons and activity to make at home.

The paper plate polar bear craft was made to go along with our Arctic Animals Unit from last week.

Make sure to also check out some of the books we read for our unit and some other arctic crafts down below.

Why Create Crafts With Lessons

Most of the time I try to create very easy and fun crafts to match our unit. Especially since our girls are so young.

It helps capture their attention long enough to learn, but also gives them a fun activity to do.

Because I do like creating easy crafts, you most likely, have all the materials needed for this polar bear craft at home or in your classroom already. 

So, if you want to make a lesson fun, just add an easy craft for the kids to create.

How To Make A Paper Plate Polar Bear Craft

When I said this polar bear craft was going to be easy I wasn’t kidding.

Younger kids don’t have the attention span to sit for a project for a long time.

That’s why this kid’s craft is easy and doesn’t need many materials to create.

• In a cup mix some Elmer’s glue and water together (3 parts glue, 1 part water).
• Allow your child to spread some of the glue mixtures with a paintbrush on the back part of the paper plate (not the part you use for eating).  
• Then making sure that there is glue mixture all on the plate sprinkle lots of white glitters over the plate, for fun add a little bit of silver glitter as well.

• Using the white construction paper cut out some circles for the ears and an oval for the mouth.
• Take the black construction paper cut out a small circle for the nose.
• Glue down the black circle on the white oval and glue on the bear’s face, along with with the googly eyes, and the ears behind the plate.  

There you have it. An easy polar bear craft.

These arctic polar bear paper plate crafts are perfect for any arctic science unit and they also make great decorations for your homeschooling room or classrooms.

I love adding crafts into our homeschooling lessons because it captures the attention of my daughters more than a worksheet would.

Especially at the preschool age. 

Plus, what child doesn’t love showing off their work!
