Glue below the black dots, then use the black dots as a guide to adhere the ears behind the top fold of the card. Add the pompom nose and the googly eyes.
2. The black and white printable pattern: Cut out all the pieces. Use them to trace the pieces onto the color of card stock you choose to use.

3. That was easy, wasn’t it?

How to make the envelope:

Write a message in your card

It’s not always easy to think of what to write in a card.

You can write, “Happy Father’s Day, Papa Bear.”

If you want a pun you can write, “I love you beary much! Happy Father’s Day.”

Then sign your name and tuck it into the envelope, all ready for Father’s Day, the third Sunday of June.
