Make your own cardboard teddy

Carrying on our ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ theme, follow this fun activity to make your own cardboard teddy.

What you will need:

• A cardboard tube.

• Paint or coloured paper.

• Scissors.

• Glue or sticky tape.

• Colouring pens.

• Other craft materials to decorate your teddy (optional)

Getting Started:

• Paint your cardboard tube, which will become your teddy’s body. Alternatively, you can cover it in coloured paper (we used brown paper for our teddies).

• Use a pen and a piece of paper to create your teddy’s head by drawing around a lid or small round object. (Alternatively, you can simply draw a face directly onto your teddy’s body).

• Carefully cut out your teddy’s head.

• Add facial features with a pen. Feel free to use any additional craft materials you may have such as googly eyes.

• Draw around two smaller round objects to create your teddy’s ears. Carefully cut them out and attach them to your teddy’s head with glue or sticky tape.

• Attach your teddy’s head to its body with glue or sticky tape.

• Create oval shapes for your teddy’s paws and use a pen to decorate them.

• Cut out your teddy’s paws and attach them to your teddy’s body with glue or sticky tape.

• You now have a cardboard teddy - enjoy!
