Hello everyone! It’s Megan from Homemade Ginger and I’m happy to share a super easy and fun craft today!
My kids are obsessed with stuffed animals. They would have every size, shape and kind of stuffed animal in our house if they could. I keep expecting their love for stuffed animals to fade away as they grow older, but it’s still going strong!
I knew that any teddy bear themed craft would be a huge hit with my kids and probably most kids, so I came up with a pipe cleaner teddy bear craft that is super easy to make. In fact, my daughter immediately LOVED playing with these little bears and spent a long time giving them names and pretending like they were all a part of a little bear family. I hope your kids will love these little bears just as much!
Attach these bears to the end of a pencil for a fun craft that your child can take with them to school. You can make your bears any color that you’d like, or you could use this same method to make different animals!

Materials
- 1 Pipe cleaner (any colour)
- 1 pair Googly eyes
- 1 medium Pom pom (head)
- 6 small Pom poms (arms and legs)

- Begin by cutting a pipe cleaner into three pieces. Cut a 2 inch piece for the arms, a 3 inch piece for the legs and a 6 inch piece for the body.
- Twist the 2 inch piece of pipe cleaner around the top of the 6 inch one.
- Wrap the longest length of the pipe cleaner in a coil around the end of a pencil.
- Take the 3 inch piece of pipe cleaner and wrap it around the bottom of the coil on the pencil, to form the legs.
- Using a glue gun, glue 4 small pom poms at the ends of each arm and leg to make the paws.
- For the final step, glue the pom pom ears, googly eyes and a small black pom pom nose to a large pom pom then glue it onto the top of the pipe cleaner body.
