3D Teddy Bear Craft

I know Father’s Day is still a good month away, but I’m so so excited about this teddy bear card that I couldn’t wait any longer to share it with you all!

This is one of my favorite crafts ever — isn’t is so sweet how the teddy bear holds a child’s photo? And just look at the fingerprint nose — SQUEEEEE!! Cuteness overload! (Sorry I couldn’t help myself!)

I may be a little biased, but the kiddos are super cute too!

While we designed this teddy bear card with Father’s Day in mind, you could tailor it for any occasion simply by changing the message inside.

Mother’s Day, Grandparent’s Day, birthdays, teacher appreciation week — you can customize the message inside to make this bear craft just perfect for any special person.

If using regular printer paper, cut out the pattern and trace onto your card stock. If your printer can handle thicker paper, you could also print directly onto the card stock and cut out the pieces.

Cut out circle pieces slightly smaller than those labeled as “ears” on the pattern, in a different color. Glue the smaller circles on top of the larger circles to make the ears.

Take the oval “feet” pieces you cut out and use a marker to draw paw prints on them.

Write your message in the middle of the body piece of the card. Feel free to use one of our idea starters:

  • “Bear Hugs for Daddy”

Line up the bear body on top of your message piece, so that the message piece is completely hidden. Glue together at the top, so that when the glue dries you will be able to open the card from the bottom to reveal the message inside.
