Bubble Wrap Painting: White Bear

To create a lovely bear canvas, you will need:

- bubble wrap

- a printable white bear template

- a square wooden board (18 x 18 cm)

- a sheet of patterned paper

- a sheet of kraft paper

- 2 google eyes (Ø 2.5 cm)

- white acrylic paint

- a blue gouache stick

- a foam stamp

- a cotton swab

- a cardboard bowl

- a glue stick

- a pair of scissors

- a black marker

Paint the square wooden surface using a solid poster paint stick.

Note:  solid poster paint provides excellent coverage and dries almost instantly!

After printing our bear template here, lay bubble wrap over it and trace the outlines of the circles with a black permanent marker.

Cut the bubble wrap along your traced line.

In a cardboard bowl, prepare some white acrylic paint. Then, stamp the bubble wrap circles with white paint using a stamp.

Tip: don’t hesitate to put plenty of paint on the bubbles.

Without waiting for the paint to dry, flip the large bubble wrap circle and apply it to the blue-painted wooden surface.

Then gently tap on the entire surface of the bubble wrap to ensure the paint is well transferred.

Do the same thing with the two small circles to draw the ears of the polar bear.

Using a cotton swab, make small dots around the bear's head to create little snowflakes.

From patterned paper, cut out a small rounded shape, then glue it under the bear's head to make a little wool sweater.

Cut out a triangular shape (approximately 4 x 3.5 cm) and 2 small ears from a sheet of kraft paper.

Draw the bear's snout and mouth on the oval shape using a black marker.

Glue the paper shapes and 2 googly eyes onto the bear's head to bring a cute little bear to life.
