Polar Bear Learning Activites

January 15, 2024 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

After that post about penguin learning activities, I couldn’t resist sharing some polar bear activities, too. You can do a whole week of learning about cold-weather animals, or just throw in some polar bear activities to add to your winter fun.

Learn about the life cycle of a polar bear and do some polar bear learning and writing using the printables from Homeschool of 1.

Get some cutting practice with a polar bear twist from Simple Everyday Mom. She has other great worksheets for practicing the letter P and labeling a polar bear, too.

Sort nouns and verbs with a polar bear twist with these printable activities for 3 Dinosaurs. They’re related to the Magic Tree House book about polar bears, which might be fun to read (or the nonfiction companion book) while you’re doing these activities. They also have printable polar bear ten frames you can use to practice counting.

Homeschool Share has a printable polar bear math mat where kids roll a die and add snow to the polar bear’s snow globe. This is an easy project for one to one correspondence.

Unscramble words related to polar bears and the Arctic with this printable from Miniature Masterminds. Or solve polar bear mazes with help from Planes and Balloons. Grab a super cute polar bear memory game from Simple Everyday Mom.

Get kids moving and playing with sound with the polar bear sound game from Growing Book By Book. You can play this with rhyming words, saying how many syllables are in a word or words in a sentence, or other ways she talks about in the post.

Add a little STEM to your exploration of polar bears by learning how blubber keeps polar bears warm (this activity from I Can Teach My Child looks super fun) and learn about polar bear dens and designing your own with this activity from Primary Theme Park.

Book Review: Once in a Blue Moon

Kids all seem to go through a phase of loving trivia, and if you’ve got kids who want to know about the tallest, biggest and weirdest things in nature, they’ll enjoy the book Once in a Blue Moon by Emily Hawkins. 

The book explores wonders of astronomy, meteorology, big trees, weird animals, volcanoes and more to show off the rarest events and phenomena in the natural world. 

Kids ages 7-10 will learn about the lake (Lake Hillier, on an island off Australia) that has water that’s bubblegum pink, the world’s deepst came (Veryovkina Cave in the country of Georgia) and the world’s biggest tree, a banyan in southeast India with a canopy that covers more than five acres!

Readers will learn what a blue moon is, how supernovas happen and about Haley’s comet and solar eclipses, among other space-related phenomena. Closer to home they’ll learn about stinky flowers, bleeding trees, glowing fungi and pizzly bears. 

There’s content about times when it’s rained frogs (and when frogs have exploded en masse), when snow made giant snowballs all by itself and how clouds stack on themselves like pancakes. The book also explores ball lightning, sun dogs, St. Elmo’s fire and more. 

I love books like this and I know kids do, too. There’s so much weird and wonderful about our world and even as adults we don’t know about all of these things. I found it fun to learn, for example, that there’s a volcano on the island of Java that not only sends out blue flames from vents near its crater, it’s also home to an acidic lake. 

Illustrations by Vlad Stankovic illuminate these weird natural wonders and are sure to get kids interested in learning more about some of these remarkable animals, plants, rock formations and more. 

About the book: 80 pages, hardcover. Published 2026 by Wide Eyed Editions. Suggested retail price $30.
