The ‘Spoonful’ polar bear project is a great way to re-purpose old materials that no longer have any use, such as old socks or clothing. This fun and easy do-it-yourself project is great for little children to help put together, and best of all, is inexpensive.
The materials needed to put this together include recycled soda bottles, Gesso, black and white acrylic paint, old socks, glue and some craft tools such as scissors and markers. Simply paint the bottle and use the socks to make a hat and gloves.
The nice thing about this project is that it is versatile and any creature can be made with this technique, which makes for endless possibilities and tons of new toys for your toddler.
