One of my favorite things to do when I visit schools is to create a bear Character. I draw the bear while the kids decide what it is wearing. This is the same process I go through when I draw characters in my books. This page shows the steps in drawing the bear and presents a few ideas for things the bear might wear. Please have fun using it in your classes.

Things the Bear might wear: These images are also available as a PDF file. This file has a higher resolution collection of the steps and is great for printing out the steps, but it is fairly large (1.7 megabytes) and a PDF reader is required to read it.
