Texture Bear

Materials:

Lightweight Cardboard (Cereal Box)

Glue

Sand, Saw Dust, Coffee Grounds (one or all)

Wiggle Eyes

Scrap Material, Ribbon, Buttons, Etc

Instructions:
1. Using the cardboard, cut out a bear head shape - don't forget the ears (you can also cut out a shape that looks like the whole bear!) Using a Pencil, draw a few details on the cardboard bear; for example, if you cut out only a head, draw an oval where the nose and mouth would go, and draw small circles in the ears. Something like this:

2. If you are using a full bear body, draw a large oval where the belly would be, and you can also draw the details on the face as above. Use your imagination!

Once you have the various bear parts sketched on, you can start adding the textures. Start by painting in your various bear part with glue. Decide what texture (sand, saw dust, coffee grounds) you want these parts, and sprinkle that texture onto the glue. Let this dry. Once that is dry, add the texture to the rest of your bear.

3. Once all your textures are dry, add the wiggle eyes, and a nose (pompom, button, or oval cut out of construction paper). You can then use the material, ribbon, buttons, etc to add more details!
