Cardboard bears

Crafts made of cardboard are very budget-friendly, since there is no need for very expensive materials. These bears can be used, for example, in a puppet theater, since the legs give them "liveliness". For the craft you need:

• white cardboard;
• scissors;
• glue;
• store-bought eyes for toys;
• pompom on the nose;
• felt-tip pen.

Procedure:

• Three circles are drawn, from large to small. One circle will be used for the head, one for the body and one for the ears of the bear.
• Next, they are glued in a logical order.
• The eyes and nose are glued on.
• A smile is drawn.
• At the bottom of the body, use a hole punch or scissors to make slits, that is, two circles. These will be the legs. If you stick two fingers through them, you will get a bear that can walk.

You can create many different bears from paper. These can be the crafts presented above, or some other models. When creating them together with your child, it is important to remember about his safety, and talk about such moments before work. And then the activity will be exciting, interesting and safe.
