Standing Bear Coloring Page
Nearly everything on this bear is round: the big head, the two ears, the body with its large belly circle, even the little tail peeking out on the lower right. The bear stands on two short legs and looks straight out of the page. Its eyes are solid black, and a wide muzzle frames an oval nose and a gentle smile. Two oval arms hang at its sides.
With 11 spaces at both levels, the choice comes down to line weight: thick and bold on the easy version for ages 3 to 5, thinner on the standard version for ages 6 to 8. A two-shade plan works nicely, with darker fur for the head, ears, arms and legs and a lighter tone for the muzzle and belly. At 100 percent the bear fills the page the same way on A4 and on US Letter.

Frequently asked questions
Should a young child start with the easy or the standard bear?
Under six, start with the easy bear and its bold outlines. From about six, the standard bear with finer lines works well with colored pencils.
Where is the tail?
On the lower right. It is a little round shape that peeks out from behind the body, so it is easy to miss until the rest is colored.
What colors suit this bear?
Brown with a tan belly and muzzle is the classic choice. Black and white makes a panda, and leaving the fur white makes a polar bear.
