How to Print and Download

  • Use the Download PDF button on any card to get the US Letter file, or choose the A4 link when you need international paper size.
  • Print in portrait orientation for the best fit.
  • Choose “fit to page” if your printer adds wide margins.
  • Black-and-white printing saves ink because the sheets are clean line art.
  • Use regular paper for crayons, or cardstock for markers, classroom displays and cut-out crafts.

Coloring Tips and Ideas

  • For preschoolers, start with the cub sitting page and let kids fill the big belly, paws and ears first.
  • Use crayons for soft snow, colored pencils for small snowflakes and washable markers for bold scarf stripes.
  • Try a cool Arctic palette with blues, purples and pale yellows around the bear while leaving some snowy spaces bright.
  • Invite older kids to add their own tiny snow dots, paw tracks or ice cracks around the detailed scenes.
  • Turn finished polar bear pages into winter bulletin board art or simple animal report covers.

Fun Facts About Polar Bears

  • Polar bears are the largest living bear species, and adult bears can be much taller than a grown-up when standing upright (NPS).
  • Even though they are bears, polar bears are also considered marine mammals because they spend so much of their lives on sea ice (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service).
  • Big furry feet and short claws help polar bears move across slippery ice, a neat detail kids can notice while coloring paws (NOAA Ocean Today).
  • Polar bear cubs usually stay with their mother for a little over two years while they learn important Arctic survival skills (NPS).
  • Most polar bears do not spend winter asleep in dens like many other bears; usually pregnant females use dens to give birth (NOAA Ocean Today).
