Create a Puffy Brown Bear
Print the Polar Bear printable.
Mix: 1/2 cup flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp salt, brown coloring, and enough water to make the mixture into a paste.
Place the mixture in a ziptop bag and mix ingredients. Cut off the corner to pipe the mixture onto the polar bear.
Once the polar bear is covered, dab the mixture with your finger to make the mixture look like fur.
Place the paper in the microwave for 20-30 seconds at a time until the mixture has risen and is fully baked.
Discuss how the baking powder forms air pockets in the mixture causing it to puff up.
(You can also do this activity with shaving cream - without microwaving.)
