We’re really excited about the release of Disneynature’s Bears movie! If you haven’t heard about it, the movie features two real bear cubs in the first year of their life. You and your family can track the trials and tribulations of these young cubs. The movie releases on April 18th. To celebrate, how about trying out a few fun bears crafts for kids?
Check out a few of our favorite ideas. Affiliate links are included in this post when products are mentioned. This movie is such a great way to teach kids about protecting the environment so our favorite animals can thrive!
5 Fun Bears Crafts for Kids
While the stuffed animals used in the example range from bears to bunnies, Ways to Repurpose Stuffed Animals can also be used as fun bears crafts for kids! Just grab an old stuffed animal that has found its way to the bottom of your child’s stuffed animal bin and breathe new life into it! Repurposing is great for the environment. While you’re creating, talk about how saving the environment helps bears out too!
