Now is a great time to bring those teddy bears out of the toy boxes for play. Young children delight in feeding, snuggling, and reading to their teddy bears.
Connect playtime with writing in this teddy bear writing activity for kids.

Directions for Teddy Bear Writing Activity for Kids
1. Select your favorite teddy bear. Talk about what it has.
My teddy bear has
2 eyes
2 ears
4 paws
2 legs
a fluffy tummy
a pink blanket
a baby bear
a hole
blue fur
2. Choose one item that your bear has and draw a picture about it.
3. Write your sentence.
*I encourage inventive spelling with my young children. This means, they sound out the words and write down the sounds they hear. As they become more confident writers, then I work on correct spelling.
For now, the goal is to get ideas onto paper.
Activity Variations
- Write 2 sentences.
- Challenge your child to use a describing word
- Have your child say the words and write them down for them.
- Assemble all the papers together and make a Teddy Bear Class book (thanks Jodie for the suggestion!)

So many fun ways to have fun with bears with your child!
You could even take all the bear writing sheets and make a book.
I love this writing activity — thanks for sharing! I'll be printing it out as a follow up to our gummy bear science. 🙂
This is a great activity. My son really likes printables that allow him to draw a picture and then write about it below, so he will totally go for this.
What a fun activity – I will be doing this with my youngest as we learn to write this year.
I was going to say the same thing, Growing Book by Book! 🙂 What a fun writing activity. So meaningful since the kiddos love their stuffed animals!
I think we definitely have enough bears to make a book out of this! Great idea!
Thanks for the idea! I have been collecting good ideas for helping my daughters writing skills. This is perfect!
What a great writing/drawing prompt for kids! I love the bear with a hole!:)
