Dress-Up Bears
What would your favorite teddy bear wear if it could dress up? Here’s your chance to put on fancy or funny clothes!
1. Throw a teddy bear party. Ask your friends (and their teddy bears) to a Teddy Bear Party. Read books about teddy bears’ adventures. Tell about your bear’s origin and favorite activities. With your friends, arrange your bears from smallest to largest. Dance with your bears to "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, Turn Around." Have a teddy bear picnic.
2. Draw your bear. With Crayola® Construction Paper™ Crayons and Multicultural Crayons, draw and color your bear on paper. Look at the shapes and sizes of its head, body, arms, and legs. Tear out your bear. Glue it to more construction paper with Crayola Glue Sticks.
3. Dress your bear. Decorate construction paper scraps to make clothes. Tear paper into shirts, pants, dresses, skirts, hats, and even shoes. Glue clothes to the bears if you wish, or make several outfits. Now tell your friends about a new adventure with your bear.
