Smokey Bear

For Smokey Bear:

Draw a large rounded oval onto a sheet of yellow craft foam, and a smaller oval in the center that’s large enough to fit the child’s head.
Cut along the drawn lines, being careful to cut the center oval out cleanly. This piece will be used for the top of the hat.
Cut a long strip of yellow craft foam for the sides of the hat and glue another strip to lengthen it if necessary.
Cut short tabs along one long edge of the long strip. Fold and glue these tabs under the inner circle cut of the brim of the hat to attach it together.
Glue the smaller oval to the top of the hat.
Cut a thinner strip of craft foam to make the hat band.
Use a red marker to write “SMOKEY” in the center of this band.
Glue the band around the hat.

Cut two layers of brown felt for each ear. Make the ears small and rounded.
Cut a vertical slit from the bottom center of each ear. Fold these cut edges over each other criss crossed to give the ear some shape & glue.
Glue pin backs to the back of each ear.

Cut a long strip of black felt that fits around the waist.
Cut a rectangle belt buckle from a scrap of yellow craft foam & glue it to one end of the belt.
Attach the belt around the waist with fabric tape.

Cut a pointed shovel head shape from white craft foam with a rectangle strip along the bottom center. This piece will wrap around the top of the dowel.
Place the dowel about ⅓ up from the bottom of the shovel head edge. Glue the shovel to the dowel just halfway around the width of the dowel.
Glue the rectangle strip wrapped around the dowel.
Bend the shovel head slightly forward to mimic the shape of a real shovel.
Paint the shovel head with silver metallic paint.
