Bear Mom and Cub Nose to Nose

A large adult bear stands in profile with its head lowered, while a small cub stands in front of her and looks up toward her nose. The two noses almost touch. The mother has round ears, a long snout, visible eyes, and short sketchy lines of fur around her cheeks and neck. Her big body fills most of the page and her legs reach the ground. The cub has a tiny round ear and its mouth is open slightly. A few simple ground lines and short grass strokes sit at the bottom. The big open areas on the mother's body are easy to color and good for younger kids. Try browns and warm tans for a grizzly look, or leave them white and use pale blues and grays to make polar bears. This free printable also works well for a lesson on how animal parents care for their young.
