Baby with Teddy Bear

A big hug: this picture shows a seated baby holding a teddy bear close. Both sit freely on a white background, built from clear lines and large areas.

What can you see?

The baby has one arm around the teddy, which sits beside it with round ears, a short snout and a little belly. The baby wears a nappy and smiles. Face, arms, nappy and the bear stay clearly separated.

Ideas for colouring

• Give the teddy a warm brown and keep the baby lighter.
• Pick out the snout, ears and paws in a second tone.
• Use wax crayons if you want the fur to look soft.

Who is it for?

Thanks to the large areas, the page suits children from around three years, for home, preschool or a topic about comfort and a favourite toy. Good to know: many children have a favourite cuddly toy that gives them a sense of security at bedtime and in unfamiliar situations.

A little story and care

Maybe the teddy goes everywhere: to the afternoon nap, into the car and even along to nursery. Think together about the bear's name and what it likes best. If you like, draw a small cuddle corner around it with a cushion and a blanket. And just like real cuddly toys, this teddy may go in the wash now and then so it stays clean and soft. The picture then turns into a little talk about favourite things.
