The children can glue on moveable eyes and pompom nose, and draw on a mouth with
markers.
3. Give the children construction paper and safety scissors; invite them to cut out clothing that
they think will fit their paper teddy bears. They can decorate the clothing any way they like
using crayon, marker, glitter, or paint.
