Polar Bear Strolling With a Sideways Glance

A large bear walks across the page in side view, with its head turned toward the right and a small smile on its face. The outline is clean and simple, with one small eye, a rounded ear, and a big nose at the tip of the snout. A few jagged lines on the back leg and rump suggest thicker fur, and all four paws are planted at different points in mid-stride. The big open body gives kids lots of room for blending or texture work. Try white, pale blue, and light gray crayons or pencils to show how a polar bear's coat can look different in the shade. This free printable also works well for a quick lesson on Arctic animals, since the long legs and wide paws are easy to point out and talk about.
