Brown Bear Padding Through Grass Toward You

A big bear walks straight toward you in this outline drawing, head tilted slightly down and eyes looking right at the viewer. It has two rounded ears, a wide snout with a large triangular nose, and small round eyes. Short jagged lines mark fur around the cheeks, shoulders, and chest, and a lighter patch of fuzzy fur sits on the front of the chest. The bear's heavy legs and shoulders fill most of the page, and a strip of scribbly grass runs along the bottom. The large open areas are easy for small hands to fill in. Try coloring the body in a few shades of brown, then use a lighter tan for the chest patch and snout so children can see how fur color changes across an animal. This free printable also works well for a quick lesson on bear features.
