Printable Polar Bear Gift Tags (Free Coloring PDF)
These free printable polar bear gift tags turn a little coloring time into a sweet finishing touch for Christmas presents. With six designs to choose from, kids can color a bear, cut out their tag, and add it to a gift for someone special.
They’re an easy addition to an afternoon of printable Christmas crafts. If your kids want a larger bear to decorate, our polar bear templates are another fun option.
Why You’ll Love These Gift Tags
- Kids add their own touch. They can choose the colors and write a little message on the back.
- Simple supplies. Paper, coloring supplies, and scissors are enough to get started.
- Six different designs. Pick a favorite or color the whole sheet for several gifts.
- A useful Christmas activity. The finished tags go straight onto wrapped presents, gift bags, or classroom gifts.
Materials
- The polar bear gift tags printable: Find the download section near the bottom of this post.
- White cardstock or printer paper: Cardstock makes sturdier tags, while regular paper works well for tags you’ll tape onto a package.
- Crayons, colored pencils, or markers: Use whatever your kids enjoy coloring with.
- Scissors: Younger kids may need help with the smaller curves.
- A hole punch and ribbon, yarn, or twine: For tying tags onto gifts. Tape is an easy alternative.
- A pen or pencil: To add names and a message on the back.
The Printable
The download is a one-page, US Letter PDF with six black-and-white polar bear gift tags to color. Each design has a dashed cutting outline and a marked spot for the hanging hole.
- A polar bear in a Santa hat holding a candy cane.
- A bear with a present beside a Christmas tree and stocking.
- A fishing bear with a bird and wrapped gifts.
- A polar bear portrait inside a bauble-shaped tag.
- A seated bear in a round tag with stars.
- A bear beside an igloo decorated with a wreath.
The colored tags in the display photos are decorating ideas; the printable itself comes in black and white so kids can choose their own colors.
How to Make Your Polar Bear Gift Tags
- Print the page. Use white cardstock if you’ll be hanging the tags from ribbon or twine.
- Color before cutting. Keeping the tags on the full sheet makes the paper easier to hold. Leave the bears white, add a little pale blue shading, or let kids choose playful colors.
- Cut out the tags. Follow the dashed outlines around your chosen designs. An adult can help with tight corners.
- Add names. Write “To” and “From” on the back, along with a short Christmas message.
- Attach to a gift. Punch the marked hole, thread through ribbon or twine, and tie it onto your package. You can also skip the hole and tape the tag in place.
Top Tips
- Keep the coloring simple. Red hats, green scarves, and pink cheeks look festive without needing to fill every space.
- Leave room around the hole. Avoid trimming too close to the marked spot so the paper is less likely to tear.
- Reinforce paper tags. Add a small piece of clear tape over the hole area before punching if you’re using thin paper.
- Write first, tie last. Adding names is easier while the tag is flat on the table.
Fun Ways to Use the Tags
Tie a tag onto a gift bag, tuck one under a ribbon on a wrapped book, or let kids decorate tags for family presents. For a classroom activity, put out a few coloring supplies and let each child choose a design to take home. Writing the recipient’s name gives kids a small, practical handwriting task, too.
You can also turn the tags into paper ornaments by adding a hanging loop. Pair them with Christmas tree templates for a simple paper holiday display, or browse our Christmas printable templates for more shapes to decorate.
Printing Tips
The PDF is sized for US Letter paper, 8.5 × 11 inches. Open the downloaded PDF and start with “Actual Size” or 100% scale. Check the print preview; if the outer cutting lines are clipped, choose “Fit” to keep the designs within your printer’s printable area.
Print single-sided so the backs stay blank for names and messages. If you want smaller tags, reduce the print scale and try one page before printing several copies. Choose cardstock that your printer supports.
