Make DIY Polar Bear Cups!
Winters can be long, especially after the holiday season has flown by. But, there's something to still look forward to. Are you ready for it? The Norm Of The North movie will be arriving in a theater near you on January 15th, 2016! To kick off some #NormOfTheNorth fun, I thought it would be cool to make DIY Polar Bear Cups that are perfect for getting the party started! This is a sponsored post, all opinions are my own.
This family friendly film is rated PG, so rally up the whole family and let's build some excitement! The fun party cups can be made with the kids or for the kids. I love building excitement on the home front before we head off to a movie or cool event. A little polar bear party is just the thing to do it and the best part is just how easy it is to do!
DIY Polar Bear Cups
Here's what you need to make these adorable cups:
- White Plastic Party Cups
- Googly Eyes
- Black Permanent Marker
- Small Black Pom-Pom
- Choice of glue (I used Glue Dots)
- Optional: Ribbon, string or other material for "scarf"
First thing to do is to get the eyes on there. If you have the sticky googly eyes, just adhere them. If you don't, you'll need to glue them. I liked to space mine out just a bit.
Next, glue on your black pom-pom nose. Can you see that it already looks like polar bear? I think Norm of the North would be pretty impressed.
The last touch is simply taking a black permanent marker and drawing on the ears and the mouth. Feel free to get creative with it. I practiced a bit before settling on the look you see pictured above. Cuteness, right?
If you want to get extra festive with it, you can tie on a scarf. I had this perfect yarn like ribbon on hand which makes for the perfect scarf.
Watch the Norm Of The North Trailer!
I've always been a fan of polar bears and Norm is determined to make a mark for himself by finding a way to fight for something he feels is right. With the help of friends and strong determination, it looks like he'll have a great chance at "winning" this battle. Check out the trailer to see what fun lies ahead:

What cute cups! My kids love polar bears, they would love these!
These definitely make kids smile. Plus they are kid friendly to make so you could let them "help." 😉
What a cute idea. They turned out great. Can't wait to see this.

Adorable! I love how simple these are... great idea for a recess activity!
They are very kid friendly. Glad you like them!
How cute are these adorable cups?! The possibilities on what you could put inside them are endless too. I think they would be especially great with some (not so) hot chocolate.
Hot Chocolate sounds perfect to drink from a polar bear cup! Great idea. Now I want some hot chocolate. 😉
Your polar bear cups are the cutest. I especially love the one with the blue eyes. This would be a great way to keep the kids busy while the meal is being made.
I'm glad you like them! They would be a great distraction for kids. Great idea!
I think these are so cute! My kids would be over the moon if I made these for their chocolate milk.
I think any kid would get a kick out of sipping a beverage in these cups. So fun!
I want to know where you found those fancy straws! Really love the art-deco look on them!
Thanks Scott! I wish I could tell you where I bought the straws but they were just in my "stash" of fun stuff. 😉
