  If you need a bit of help getting started, then please download our teddy bear drawing template below.

   

  HOW TO ENTER

   

  Share your superhero teddy bear design with us by 5pm on 8 May 2020. An adult over the age of 18 should submit a photo of your design in one of the following two ways:
