Dancing Bear in Diamond Pattern Dress and Hat

A cheerful bear leaps with both arms raised, showing the paw pads on each hand. It wears a big puffy dress covered in small diamond shapes, plus a matching pointed hat with a little flower on the front. Two strands of pearl beads hang around its neck, and a zigzag trim runs along the collar. The skirt flares out so the bear's feet peek out underneath, with paw pads facing us. The fur around the face and legs is drawn with short, fine lines. The diamond pattern is a fun challenge for little hands, so try alternating two or three colors across the dress and hat to make a quilt-like look. Colored pencils work well for the tiny shapes, while crayons suit younger kids who can pick just one color for the whole outfit. This free printable is also a nice prompt for talking about patterns and repeating shapes.
