Bear Sitting Cozy in a Striped Scarf

A friendly bear sits on the ground with a happy smile, small round ears, and a big black nose. He wears a chunky scarf with vertical stripes, and one end hangs down over his chest. One paw rests across his belly while the other arm hangs down in front, and claws show on both paws. His big round foot faces us with three oval toe pads and sharp claws at the top. Behind him is a bushy tail with a few curved stripe lines, and tufts of fur stick out along his back. The large open shapes are easy for small hands, so this free printable works well for preschoolers. Try a cozy winter palette, using bright colors on the scarf stripes and soft browns for the fur. You could also talk about what animals do to stay warm when it gets cold.
