Bear Snacks

Bear Snacks
Well, these are snacks for people, not bears. Please don't feed the bears.

Bear Paw Cookies | Ranger Rick Magazine

Bake with BEAR -- Make Flippin Fun Pancakes!, BEARilliant Muffins, Perfect Porridge! and Straw-BEARy Scones.

If you live in the United States or any other country that doesn't use the Metric System, you can convert the measurements into US customary units. This would be an excellent math lesson. 

You can use (just) fruit roll ups or just dried, frozen, or fresh cranberries, raisins, blueberries or any other fruits you like to use for the recipes instead of the BEAR yoyos or paws. Use your imagination.

Teddy Bear Rolls | CraftyBaking -- You can use this recipe or make your own using the ideas of these cute bears if you can't eat wheat/gluten like we do. You can probably make these more healthy by using fruits (e.g. raisins) instead of candy for the face.
