Things to talk about while coloring
Teddy bears got their name from Theodore Roosevelt, a U.S. president whose nickname was Teddy. This bear is hugging a big heart, a sweet picture for a card to a grandparent or friend. Ask your child who they would give a big hug to on Valentine's Day and why that person is special to them.
Coloring ideas
Brown, honey, or even pink fur suits this bear, with a lighter shade on the ears, muzzle, and round paw pads. Make the heart bright red or pink so it stands out, and older kids can add a bow tie or tiny hearts on the bear's feet.
A little learning
Writing a family member's name inside the big heart before coloring turns this page into gentle name-writing practice with a real reason behind it. Count the bear's round ears and paws to add a quick counting job.
