On my recent author visit to Ecole Bilingue in Berkeley, California, I saw a display of art projects made by the students, including these polar bears created from hand-prints. This would be a perfect project to go with reading my book A POLAR BEAR'S WORLD.
How to make a hand-print polar bear:
1. Dip the flat of your hand into white paint that has been poured on a plate. (Alternatively, you can use brown paint to make a brown or grizzly bear.)
2. Press your hand onto a sheet of colored paper to make a print. Let the paint dry. (Be sure to wash you hand!)
3. Cut out the shape of your hand. The four fingers are the polar bear's legs. The thumb is the head and face.
4. With a black marking pen draw claws on the feet and draw eyes, ears, and nose on the face.
This project is suitable for preschool and primary school age children.
