10 Craft Ideas to do With Christmas Polar Bear Coloring Pages
Once those finished coloring pages start piling up, don't let them sit in a stack—these easy, budget-friendly crafts put your child's colorful masterpieces to creative use!
1. Santa's Helper Polar Bear Crown
Cut out the colored Christmas polar bear and glue it to the center of a thick strip of red construction paper. Decorate the sides of the paper band with glued-on cotton balls to mimic fluffy white snow and holiday fur trim. Measure the band around your child's head, staple it closed, and let them wear their festive arctic crown all day long.
2. Cozy Cocoa Marshmallow Mug Sleeve
Cut a wide band of brown poster board to wrap around a disposable paper hot cocoa cup. Cut out a small, colored Christmas polar bear from your page and glue him right to the center of the sleeve. Finish the craft by gluing white mini pom-poms around the bear to look like floating marshmallows in a warm winter drink.
3. Sliding Iceberg Puppet
Cut out the colored Christmas polar bear and glue him to the top of a wooden popsicle stick. Take a paper plate, cut it in half, paint it a frosty blue, and cut a horizontal slit along the flat edge. Slide the popsicle stick through the slit so your festive polar bear can “slip and slide” across his very own rocking iceberg.
4. Snowy Mason Jar Lantern
Carefully cut out the colored polar bear and use Mod Podge to decoupage him to the outside of a clean, empty glass jar. Sponge white acrylic paint around the bottom of the jar to create a snowy ground, and sprinkle a little silver glitter over the wet paint. Drop a battery-operated tea light inside to watch your Christmas bear glow under a magical northern lights effect.
5. Arctic Wonderland Group Collage
Cover a large classroom bulletin board or poster board with dark blue butcher paper to set a winter night scene. Have every child cut out their colored Christmas polar bears and glue them onto the board in a big group. Add cotton batting along the bottom for shared snowy hills and scatter foil star stickers in the sky above the bear pack.
6. Polar Bear Holiday Mailbox
Fold a paper plate in half and staple the curved outer edges together to create a pocket, then paint the outside a festive green. Glue your cut-out colored Christmas polar bear to the front so he looks like he is peeking over the top edge. Punch two holes at the top, thread a red ribbon through, and hang it on a doorknob to hold incoming holiday cards.
7. Rocking Ice Floe Toy
Fold a white paper plate in half to create a dome shape that rocks back and forth when nudged. Cut out the colored polar bear, leaving a small paper tab at his feet to fold backward. Glue this tab to the top crease of the paper plate so your bear stands upright, ready to wobble and rock across the frozen arctic sea.
8. Ursa Major Starry Gift Bag
Glue your cut-out colored polar bear onto the center of a plain brown paper gift bag. Use a white paint marker to draw a starry constellation grid in the background, making it look like your bear is under a sparkling winter night sky. Tie the bag handles with red yarn and white pipe cleaners to complete the cozy gift wrapping.
9. Faux Stained-Glass Window Suncatcher
Cut out the silhouette of your colored polar bear, then lightly rub a cotton ball dipped in baby oil over the back of the paper to make it translucent. Frame the bear with a border cut from black construction paper to mimic leaded glass. Tape your festive creation to a sunny window so the holiday colors glow brightly when the sun shines through.
10. “Keep Out of the Igloo” Door Hanger
Glue your colored polar bear to a sturdy piece of recycled cardboard and cut around the shape. Use glue and white packing peanuts or crumpled white tissue paper to build a 3D “igloo” arch over the bear's head. Write a fun, cozy message like “Welcome to the Den!” across the bottom and hang it from a bedroom door using festive twine.
