Snowboarding Polar Bear Treats for Holiday Parties

Filed Under: Christmas, Kids Crafts

These snowboarding polar bear treats are hilarious and you only need 2 items to make them! Great for class parties, birthday parties, and holiday crafts. This post contains affiliate links.

Mac and I can’t get over the cuteness of these snowboarding polar bear treats. We made a bagful to bring to his nursery friends at church in December, but they’d make cute wintertime treats for preschool classes in January, too! There are 14 children ages 3 and under in his nursery class. Bless those sweet nursery leaders who play and sing with them every Sunday! He is going to have so much fun standing at the door and giving out his snowboarding polar bear treats to everyone after nursery.

It took about 5 minutes to make 15 snowboarding polar bears. 5 MINUTES.

You’re gonna want to make a mental note to bring these in for class parties this year when you find out that your child signed you up to make holiday treats for 24 kids.

I started out trying to find a way to make candy cane sleds, similar to our milky way teddy sleds, but looked down after gluing the polar bear to the mini candy bar and started laughing because the polar bear on top of the mini candy bar was so much cuter and EASIER. Done and done. Our sleds immediately turned into snowboards and I’m not mad about it one bit!

The polar bears are from Oriental Trading and are actually finger puppets. They come in packages of 24 so they are perfect for class parties and there are so many cute styles and uses for them.

Here are two more holiday crafts using plastic finger puppets!

Rudolph Ornament Gifts: These DIY Rudolph ornaments are the perfect holiday party favor! Fill them with darling finger puppets, and seasonal candy and hang them on the tree. A great kids craft too to make at school!

Reindeer Candy Tins: Darling reindeer candy tins that come together quickly for the perfect holiday party favors! You can also add numbers and use as a fun advent activity!

And just for kicks, here’s another fun class party idea:

Holiday donut cups made out of disposable cups and oil based sharpie pens and filled with mini donuts. There are 3 different varieties of donuts to choose from and 3 fun cup designs!

Supplies

  • Polar bear finger puppets
  • Mini candy bars
  • Hot glue gun/glue

Instructions

Ok. Pay careful attention on how to assemble these polar bear treats.

Step 1: Hot glue the polar bear to the mini candy bar.

Done. They really are that easy.

Quick Note: It will melt the chocolate ever so slightly on the top, but it will harden again. So no worries. You can also use craft glue instead of hot glue, but I like how quickly hot glue dries.

Now go and make a couple of dozen more to share with friends this holiday season.

    This post was saved as a memory & it popped up yesterday. Included were some great things like Pop Tart gingerbread houses. When I shared to my FB friends, I now don’t see the Pop Tart part. Loved it & loved you had a quick recipe for royal icing. Could you please post that again. Thank you ❣

This kid knows a good thing when he sees it. Anyti This kid knows a good thing when he sees it. Anytime my camera and tripod go up, he’s right there waiting. Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

This cutie is working on a hat for her big brother This cutie is working on a hat for her big brother for Christmas. We love this little set of round knitting looms. A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat. Linked in stories. ❤️

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!

Gnomes and llamas made their way to our Christmas Gnomes and llamas made their way to our Christmas cookies this year and I’m wondering why we didn’t use them before! So cute ($1 at Target). My 9 year old decorated most of the cookies that you see in this photo. I taught her how to use a piping bag, a star tip, and a round tip last year and she hit the ground running. Check out our stories for 6 cookie tutorials for kids using the same frosting tips!
