Step 2: Trace and cut the pieces

Place the template pieces on the appropriate colored construction paper and carefully trace around them.

Use pink paper for the inner ears and cheeks, yellow paper for the muzzle, and black paper for the eyes. Cut out all the traced pieces neatly with scissors.

Step 3: Stick the pieces onto the template

Take the cut-out pieces and stick them onto the polar bear outline on the template itself.

Attach the pink inner ears, rosy cheeks, yellow muzzle, and other pieces in their correct positions as shown on the template.

Step 4: Add the nose

Once all the pieces are securely attached, use a black sketch pen to draw the polar bear’s nose on the yellow muzzle.

Add the small facial details carefully to complete the bear’s cute expression.

Step 5: Cut out the polar bear

Carefully cut around the completed polar bear head, following the outer outline of the template.

Take your time around the ears and other curved areas so the edges stay neat.

Step 6: Cut the headband strip

Cut the second long rectangular strip from the template. This piece will form the headband that goes around the child’s head.

Step 7: Join the headband

Wrap the headband around your child’s head to check the size.

Overlap the ends of the strip and glue them together so the headband fits comfortably. Hold the ends together for a few seconds and allow the glue to dry completely before wearing it.

Your adorable polar bear headband is ready for some winter fun!

Final Words

This simple template craft is a great way for kids to practice tracing, cutting and gluing while creating something they can actually wear.

They can make their polar bear extra special by adding their own little decorations or changing the colors of the details.

Once everything is dry and secure, put on the headband and let the wintertime fun begin!
