Who this list is for
The cotton ball polar bear craft list is for six-year-olds building a soft polar bear scene on blue cardstock while practicing shape placement. Pre-cut bear body pieces keep the session shorter and let children focus on arranging and gluing.
How to use this list
Give each child one blue cardstock sheet and prepare polar bear body templates before the craft begins. Set out white cotton balls, black construction paper, white cardstock, light blue tissue paper, silver paper confetti, and two large wiggle eyes per child. Use washable glue sticks for light paper shapes and washable tacky glue for cotton balls. Add washable marker details after the bear and background pieces are in place.
