Th mama bear stands 36" tall, while the polar bear cub is 24" tall. You get full size patterns to trace for all pieces, detailed instructions for building, a list of materials needed to build both bears pictured, and of course our Toll Free woodworker support (should you need it). Some light assembly is required to get the 3-D leg flare effect, but the project is still at the beginner level. A hand held jig saw, a small number of wood screws, and some paint is all you need. Sure to delight family, friends, and neighbors at Christmas.
