Polar Bear Noticing Something Up Ahead

A large bear walks across the page in side view, with its head turned up and toward the right as if it just noticed something. The face shows two small eyes, a broad nose with a mouth line beneath it, and a rounded ear with a few inner lines. A few simple lines mark the shoulder, back leg, and cheek, and all four paws have short toenails at the ends. Because the body is mostly open space, it is easy for younger kids to fill in without going over the lines. Try coloring it as a polar bear with soft whites, pale blues, and light grays so the fur looks like it belongs in snow. This free printable also works well for a short lesson on Arctic animals, and kids can add their own icy background around the bear.
