The books Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See and We’re Going on a Bear Hunt bring back so many sweet memories for me.  My kids loved those books so much when they were smaller. They are definitely ones that I won’t be parting with anytime soon even though we haven’t cracked them open in years.  Ours are a little worn, but hopefully they will hang in there until my kiddos are old enough to read them to their children one day.  If you have a little one who LOVES these books as much as we did then they will definitely appreciate this fun K-Cup Brown Bear Craft. Here’s how to do it:

First you will need to gather a few supplies.  Isn’t that the cutest paper?

You will need the following:

• Clean, used k-cups
• brown spray paint
• dark brown craft foam
• light brown craft foam
• large black Sharpie marker
• scissors
• googly eyes
• pencil or a pen
• glue stick

Directions –

#1. Spray the k-cup in a well ventilated area and let dry. If needed, spray again with a second coat to get spots you may have missed the first time and let dry.
#2. Use the top of the k-cup to trace a circle on the dark brown craft foam for the bear’s head and cut out using the scissors.
#3. Cut 2 small circles from the dark brown craft foam for the bear’s ears and attach with the glue stick.

#4. Cut a small circle out of the light brown craft foam and attach to the middle of the larger black felt circle for the bears snout.
#5. Draw a nose and mouth on the light brown foam using the black Sharpie and then give the bear 2 googly eyes (see photo).

#6. Attach the bears head to the k-cup body using the glue stick.
#7. Cut out 2 small paws from the black felt and attach to the bears sides using the glue stick.

And done!!! Have fun!
