Birthday Cake in Front of a Teddy Bear

A friendly teddy bear sits upright with a gentle smile, round ears, and a small triangle nose. Its arms reach forward and rest on top of the bear's big oval feet, and the paw pads with three toe circles show on the soles. In front of the bear sits a two-layer birthday cake with wavy dripping icing and six candles, each with a little flame on top. The cake rests on a round plate. The bold, clean outlines and large open areas make this an easy fit for younger kids using crayons or chunky markers. Try giving each candle flame a warm yellow or orange and coloring the icing drips a different shade from the cake layers. It's also a nice prompt for counting the candles together, or for talking about how old the bear might be turning. Print a few copies to use as birthday party table activities.
