More ways to browse
Many children have a favorite stuffed bear, and they love coloring one that looks like their own. Ask your child to fetch their bear and copy its colors, bow and any special marks. Teddy bears are often brown, tan or honey colored, but pink, blue and white bears are common too. A teddy bear page also works well for a teddy bear picnic, a first day at school or a get-well card.
For a fuzzy look, color with short, light crayon strokes going in one direction, like fur. A second brown on top adds depth. Kids can glue a scrap of real fabric on the belly patch or a ribbon at the neck for a cozy touch.
