Download the polar bear template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.

Line up 4 popsicle sticks side by side. Take a 5th popsicle stick and cut it into thirds. Take the cut popsicle sticks and glue them across the top, middle, and bottom of the 4 popsicle sticks to hold them together.

Flip the popsicle sticks over and paint the front in 1-2 thin coats of white paint. Let dry completely before moving on. Begin to make the polar bear by gluing the eyes just a little below the top of the popsicle sticks.
