18. Paper Strip Polar Bear

Polar bears are the epitome of all things wintery. They’re like the Santa Clauses of the season, in that they represent a whole lot of the icy poles they belong to.

When you’re making these paper strip polar bears, though, you don’t need to stick to plain white. Offset the white polar bear with a ton of colorful strips of paper.

And yes, they do look a little like pandas, so feel free to use them however you see fit. You can teach your kids about both animals, so there you go!
