International Polar Bear Day

Aren’t polar bears interesting and beautiful? Fun Fact: every February we celebrate International Polar Bear Day! These fun and edible polar bear pretzels are the perfect addition to eat while learning all about these interesting and large animals! One of the most important ways that we can understand and learn about polar bears is to first educate ourselves with some facts surrounding them and their lives.

Polar Bear Facts for Kids

Polar bears live in the wild and there are current estimates of anywhere from 20,000-50,000 polar bears that still remain. One of the biggest reasons that International Polar Bear Day was started was to help educate the general public about the impact of global warming on the future polar bear population. With polar bears needing cold climates, understanding how the future of our Earth can impact their habitats is important.

Taking the time to also learn some fun facts about polar bears is important as well! One fun fact about polar bears is that they change homes every day because they spend the majority of their time wandering and hunting. That’s a lot of exploring and moving about for such a large animal!

How To Make These Polar Bear Pretzels

While these polar bear snacks are great for International Polar Bear Day, they can also be made for winter fun, holiday class parties or even for a fun polarbear themed birthday party! Have fun with these tasty treats as they pack a big punch of taste and flavor!

In a tall glass, melt the white candy melts or white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth and completely melted. Dip each pretzel into the glass, making sure it’s completely coated in chocolate.

 

 

Sprinkle with shredded coconut and lay on parchment paper.

 

 

Place a white Wilton candy melt at the tip of the pretzel rod.

 

Use some of the melted white chocolate to attach the halved mini marshmallows on each side of the candy melt for ears. 

 

Place a mini chocolate chip in the center of the melt for a nose. Cut off the top of 2 chocolate chips to create eyes (or you can use black gel). 

 

Allow chocolate to harden for at least 30 minutes. Serve up these cute treats!
