Paint Like a Polar Bear

What kinds of hands do polar bears have? 5 fingers like us? Webbed hands like reptiles? Talons like owls? No, you know, they have paws!

Materials

old sock

paint (liquid watercolor or watered down tempera)

dishes for paint

large paper

1. Distribute watered-down washable paint into dishes. (Make sure they are big enough for a paw!)

2. What type of colors do you think a polar bear would like to paint with? What do you think a polar bear might paint?

3. Find those recylced mismatched socks and paw up! Slip them onto your hands and dip them into the paint. Now you can start making your polar bear painting!

Can you make big strokes? How about paw prints?
