Turn the paper plate upside down.
Paint the back of the paper plate with honey brown paint.
When dry, paint a circle with tan paint.
Use tan paint to drag the top of the circle higher, like a pear shape.
Paint an almond shape for the eyes with white paint.
When dry, use the handle end of a paintbrush dipped in brown paint to add the circles for the eyes.
Paint the nose using black paint in the shape of a bean.
Add nostrils and center of the nose.
When eyes are dry dry, use the handle end of a paintbrush to dot black onto the brown.
Paint eye lids using honey brown.
Add a smile with black marker.
To add the details to look like fur, first paint some more honey brown onto the face so that the paint is white.
Dip the tines of the plastic fork into brown paint and drag them through the honey brown.
Continue this process all around the face.
Use the patterns to cut the hat pieces from red paper, and the coat pieces from blue paper.
Use a toothbrush dipped in white paint to add snow to the red hat.
Glue the hat pieces together and trim any excess.
Note: you may need to trim the hat more to make it fit the paper plate properly.
Glue the hat to the top of the bear’s head.
Assemble the coat and glue the buttons in place.
