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. Stretch one glue dot along each of the cut popsicle sticks.

Take the cut popsicle sticks and glue them across the top, middle, and bottom of the 4 popsicle sticks to hold them together. If you don't want to use glue dots, you can also hot glue them together.

Flip the popsicle sticks over and paint the front with 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.

Glue the nose/mouth slightly overtop the bottom and in between the eyes.

Place the belly towards the bottom of the body and glue it to secure. Position the outer legs on the bottom corners of each side of the body.

Next, glue the inner legs along the outside of the body, slightly below the mouth.

Use the pink marker to draw on the inner ears on the outer ears, then glue them to the top corners of the polar bear.
