Instructions:
Follow the steps below to make your own Polar Paws!
Steps:
1. Draw the outline of a pair of Polar Bear Paws, approximately
7 1/2" x 7 1/2" (approx. actual size), onto white
cardstock or white paper plates and cut out along outline.
2. Trace outline onto white felt and cut out along outline. You
may choose to make Black or Brown Bear Paws by using the appropriate
color felt. Draw paw print onto felt with a black marker (see
photo).
3. Tape or glue felt to cardstock or paper plate. Allow glue
to dry. Don't forget to make two paws, so you have a pair!
4. Staple elastic to either side of the paws, measuring so that
they will fit over your feet. Try your Polar Paws on for size!
5. Try out your Polar Paws in a sandbox if possible. The paws
act like snowshoes to help the Polar Bear walk on the snow without
sinking.
