CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!! I ADORE THESE BEARS!!

This lesson took 3 art classes to complete (40 minutes each). 2nd graders followed along with me as I did a guided drawing for their bear on 12×12″ 80# white drawing paper in pencil. They added a ton of texture for the fur with sharpie, then they used some of their math skills to create their patterns in the sweaters!

Read more on all of this below students artwork, to see my step-by-step photos on how we created our bears!

I love all the different expressions!

Here’s how I demonstrated to students on how to draw the bear!

When kids were ready, I gave students dice and a pattern sheet that I created where each pattern was labeled by a number.

I posted this up on the board for kids to see when they rolled their dice for their patterns in their sweaters. Where it says “your choice of a pattern” they could select one from the sheet to draw, or create their own.

Here’s some photos of students creating their awesome bears!
