For this week\u2019s Creature Feature, we\u2019re highlighting one of Canada\u2019s grrr<\/em>eatest and grrrr<\/em>andest: the Grizzly Bear!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grizzly bears are one of the most epic creatures in Canada\u2019s wilderness. Weighing as much as a grand piano, these massive mammals are found in the cooler climates of Alaska, Canada, and Russia. They\u2019re mostly solitary with big territories, but unfortunately their homes are under threat. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important we protect the places they\u2019re found!\u00a0Click here to learn more.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For today\u2019s crafty Creature Feature, Earth Ranger Judy has put together another awesome activity: time to build-a-bear! Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. <\/strong>Click here to download the grizzly bear template<\/a>, then either print it or draw out your own. Colour in all of the shapes except the circle with the nose & mouth. Since we\u2019re doing a common grizzly bear, colour everything brown. Don\u2019t be afraid to get fancy with the shading! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Cut out the shapes, then colour the backsides too – since this is a 3D craft, all sides of the paper will show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong> Use your glue stick to glue the nose & mouth, then glue the eyes on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. <\/strong>Once that is done, glue the head onto the front legs (the one without the tail). About half of the head should be overlapping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.<\/strong> Grab your strips and glue the corner of one strip over the corner of another, forming an \u201cL\u201d shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. <\/strong>Begin to overlap the strips one over the other, going back and forth while maintaining an \u201cL\u201d shape. (Pro tip: keep the strips perpendicular as you go). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.<\/strong> At the end, glue down whatever is left of the strips to give you an accordion-looking shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

8.<\/strong> Glue one side of the accordion behind the front legs with the face facing outwards, then glue the other side of the accordion to the back legs, making sure the tail is facing outwards. And just like that, you\u2019ve got yourself a grizzly! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
