My kids love to see the bears at the zoo and watch them climb trees but best of all, they like it when they scratch their backs on the tree trunks! They look so cute and cuddly but if you come across one on a hike in the mountains, they may not be so friendly. Yikes! 

Did you know bears are fast? Some bears can run up to 40 miles an hour. They can walk on their hind legs and are very smart animals. They have great memories and can remember where they have been and where they need to go just like a GPS in our cars!

We have all heard that bears love honey. They raid beehives and not only eat the honey but the bees too! Yes, the bees try to sting them but they can’t get through their thick fur.

Our bear headband is the perfect craft that can get your child feeling smart just like a bear as they pretend to use their GPS around the house or in the car while you run errands.

How Do I Print A PDF?

You’ll need a program that supports PDFs. Adobe Acrobat is a great option. Open the program, click file then print. Select your printer and the number of copies you want to print. Be sure you click double-sided if you want it to print on both sides. 

Can I Resell These?

You may not resell any printable or template that you find on our website or received in your email. You may use them for class parties, at church, at home, or in the classroom. You may get these printed at an office supply store or copy center at your own expense.
