We adore this Printable Polar Bear Puppet Craft. It is totally the cutest and so much fun to play with!

There is a printable polar bear pattern that comes in two sizes so you can make a family of polar bear puppets! We love that each polar bear craft is made from just one sheet of printer card!  

Kids of all ages will have so much fun with this polar bear puppet craft, making it walk, run and jump about! It’s an easy puppet for little hands because it has a single handle at the back and no strings to tangle. The polar bear’s wibbly wobbly legs move around when you wiggle your wrist. So fun!

(Post updated 7/7/20 there is a small charge.)

10 – To move your polar bear puppet you need a handle at the back. Sticky tape a jumbo straw or craft stick onto the bottom of the polar bear’s body so that it sticks out at the back.

(We used a plastic jumbo straw as we have lots left in our craft supplies that we try to reuse again and again when we can. You could also tightly roll up a sheet of paper or use a wooden dowel, long paint stirrer or even a pencil. You just need something long enough to go under the bear and to poke out enough to hold.)
