This toddler craft is so easy, I took it in to use with the preschool liturgy class I help teach at our church. They had a blast with it!
The craft is a simple teddy bear face, and is based on circles. Great time for a lesson on shapes.
First you will need to cut out one large circle, two smaller circles for ears, and then two slightly smaller circles for the inner ear area. Cut out one small black circle for a nose.
You can use two small circles for eyes, but we happened to have some craft eyes on hand. They added a very cute touch.
* Getting the circle shapes is simple if you are an avid crafter like me - I have a variety of different shape circle shapes, and I also own a circle cutting system. So it only takes me about two seconds to get the circles ready!
Glue your smaller ear circle onto the larger piece.
Add the same to the second ear. Take both ears and glue them to the back of the big circle. Now the bear has his two ears!
Glue on your black nose circle and your two eyes.
Have your toddler then draw the bear's mouth and voila . . . your teddy bear head is complete.
We glued our faces to the back of a piece of cardstock, but you could also construct a body for the bear out of bigger circles, or glue a popsicle stick to the back of the bear's head to make it into a puppet!
