Celebrate Polar Bear Day with these fun activities! Use this day to discuss other bears as well as polar bears. Now is a great time to visit the zoo and share the wonders of polar bears with your kids.
A few quick links:
Bears on the Beach
Adapt this to polar bears by dipping the teddy grahams in white chocolate!
Adapt this to polar bears by dipping the teddy grahams in white chocolate!
teddy grahams
graham crackers
white frosting
gummy lifesavers
blue food coloring
Take a few tablespoonfuls of frosting and place into a small dish. Add a few drops of blue food coloring to create a nice blue color. Break the graham crackers into squares. Have the child spread the blue frosting onto 1/2 of the cracker - they can be generous! The rest of the graham cracker will be the beach! Stretch out a gummy lifesaver and place around the waist of a Teddy Graham. Then have the child place the teddy into the water (blue frosting).
The Bear Went Over the Mountain
This song is sung to the tune of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow"
The bear went over the mountain, The bear went over the mountain, The bear went over the mountain, To see what he could see
To see what he could see,
To see what he could see
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see
Was all that he could see,
Was all that he could see,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see!

They also had some cute coloring pages of a Bear with a Beach Umbrella, one of a zookeeper, and several of zoo animals.
