Polar Bear on the Ice

Out on the frozen north, this fluffy polar bear strolls across a snowy ice floe with small rounded ears, thick furry legs, wide paws, and floating ice chunks and gentle snowdrifts all around in a calm Arctic setting. Because the bear and the snow are both pale, this page is a fun lesson in coloring lightly — kids can use soft grays, pale blues, and creams to show shape without losing the bright white feel. The simple, sturdy outline suits younger children, while older ones can play with the icy background. Polar bears are the largest bears of all and are built for the cold, with thick fur and a layer of fat to keep warm; their fur even looks white though each hair is actually clear. Print it on US Letter or A4 for a cool, peaceful Arctic scene.
