Food
Bear sandwiches
● thin-sliced bread
● bear-shaped cookie cutter or mould
● fillings of your choice
1 All you need is a bear-shaped cookie
cutter to make simple crustless bear
sandwiches.

Teddy fruit cups
● cupcake cases
● card in various colours
● glue
● black marker pen
● blueberries
● strawberries
1 Turn cupcake cases into friendly
little bears. Cut a round face, two small

round ears and a little oval-shaped snout

from card.

2 Using the image on the opposite page

as a guide, assemble the bear with glue

and draw on eyes and a muzzle.

3 Attach to the cases and fill them with

blueberries and cut-up strawberries.

Teddy racing cars

● small amount of melted dark chocolate

● Tiny Teddies (Teddy Grahams) with

their legs cut off

● Tim Tams or any chocolate-covered

rectangular biscuit (cookie)

● Smarties (M&Ms)

1 Use the melted chocolate to stick the

teddies on the chocolate biscuit “cars”.

2 Using more melted chocolate, add

Smarties to the side of the biscuits for the

wheels and stick halved Smarties on top

of the biscuits as the steering wheel.

Old-school biscuits

● 2 packets of teddy-shaped biscuits

(chocolate and plain)

● small amount of melted chocolate

● edible sugar flowers (from the cake

aisle at the supermarket)

1 You could make your own chocolate

teddy-shaped biscuits, but the packet

ones are so good you really can’t go past

them. They scream birthday party.

2 Dazzle the partygoers by mixing plain

and chocolate-flavoured bears on the

same plate. Use melted chocolate to glue

on sugar flowers to make girl bears. Fancy.

Bear bottles

● coloured card

● glue

● black marker pen

● double-sided sticky tape

● small milk bottles

● coloured twine

● milk or juice

1 Make bear faces from card – see the

instructions for teddy fruit cups, left – and

use tape to stick them to milk bottles

(you can buy bottles with lids and in-built

straws to avoid spillages; alternatively,

you could get clear plastic cups with

lids and straws if you are worried about

breakages).

2 Tie a short piece of pretty twine around

the neck of the bottle in a bow. Fill with

bear juice of your choice.
