Activity guide for this page

Recommended age: Ages 3–5
Estimated time: 10–20 min
Difficulty: Easy
Areas to color: about 14

Coloring order

Color the round head, body and chunky arms and legs a deep brown, then give the round belly a lighter brown.
Fill the pads on the raised paw and on the two sitting feet with a pinkish brown.
Last, trace the smiling closed eyes, the round nose and the lines around the mouth in a dark shade.

Questions to talk about

The bear has closed its eyes and is smiling. What could be so fun?
What would you say back to the bear who is waving at you?
Has a good mood ever made you smile all by itself?

Take it further

Trace your own hand on paper, then draw round paw pads on it to turn your hand into a bear paw.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
