Teddy Bear Ears Craft

If you go down to the woods today, you’d better go in disguise! Get your little ones dressed up for a teddy bear’s picnic with this super-cute teddy bear ears craft! It’s very easy to do and doesn’t require many materials or much preparation. It’s also perfect for a Goldilocks and the Three Bears activity, or even if you’re teaching parts of the face!

I’ve included printable templates for individuals or groups with a couple of options:

A version for kids to colour
A version you can use as a template to cut out of coloured card.

The individual template contains one copy of the pieces per page, for you to use with one child. The group template has multiple pieces per page to save paper. You can print these directly onto white or coloured card.

The templates are available to download for free and you can find them at the end of the post.

1. Download the printable template (see end of post). Print whichever version you want onto white or coloured card.

2. Colour the ears and head band if necessary and cut out all the pieces.

Colouring version:

Coloured card version:

3. If you’re using the coloured card version, stick the pink inner ears onto the outer ears.

4. Take the two head band strips and put a bit of glue at the end of one. Stick the other strip onto it to make a long band. Stick the ears to the band.

5. Use the band to measure the child’s head then take it off, making sure you hold the ends in place. Staple the ends together to make a circle.

6. Have fun pretending to be a bear!

Advice for small group classes:

This is a straightforward craft which can be easily completed in about 10 minutes (longer if the kids colour the ears).

Some tips:

Have a Teddy Bear’s Picnic! Use the colouring version if you need some time to set out the food!
Read Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and have kids act out the story afterwards with their bear ears on!
Use this as a fun, quick craft when teaching parts of the face.
