It’s a wonderful way to encourage artistic expression, fine motor skills, and storytelling all at once.
Kids can add their own special touches, like funny hats, scarves, or even a background scene for the bear. After finishing their drawing, they can color it in with their favorite shades to bring it to life, or follow the example provided.
This activity is perfect for a rainy day, a classroom project, or a cozy afternoon at home. Let creativity run wild and see just how many different bears you can create!
Fun Activities with Finish Drawing the Bear
Once you’ve finished drawing your adorable bear, the fun doesn’t have to stop there!
There are so many creative ways to bring your bear to life through art, imagination, and storytelling.
Try these three fun activities to keep the creativity flowing and make your bear even more special!
Bear Fashion Show 🎩🐻
After kids finish drawing their bears, have them design outfits for their bears — like superhero capes, ballerina tutus, or explorer gear. Then, host a “Bear Fashion Show” where each child shows off their creative bear and tells a little story about it!
Create a Bear Habitat 🌲🏕️
Once the bear drawing is complete, encourage kids to draw a background around their bear. They can create forests, snowy mountains, cozy caves, or even magical lands where their bear lives!
Bear Story Time 📖🐾
After finishing and coloring their bears, kids can write a short story about their bear’s adventures. They can share their stories aloud, or turn them into a mini book complete with their drawings!
These activities make finishing your bear drawing even more exciting and memorable.
With a little imagination, each bear becomes part of a fun story or colorful adventure. Keep exploring your creativity and see where your bear’s journey will take you!
The horizontal and vertical dashed lines running through the center of the page on Cute Things to Draw are helpful to beginner artists. By drawing their own center lines on blank paper before starting, learning artists have a guide to follow as they draw.
Getting the right size and placement of lines on the page provides visual reference points that help improve accuracy. To create these guides on their own page, students can simply fold their paper in half both vertically and horizontally, slightly creasing it, then unfold. Once the drawing is finished and colored, the creases will not be noticeable.
Let’s finish drawing the cute bear!
