THINK SPOT

Did you know that polar bears, brown bears and black bears can all interbreed, so most likely descended from the same original ‘bear-kind’ ancestor. God created all original kinds with many design features and the ability to ‘fine-tune’ them to different environments through natural selection—BUT ONLY WITHIN THEIR KIND. We all know that if we could have a peek into her den, that Mrs Polar Bear would NOT be naturally breeding dogs, penguins, or giraffes. We would expect to see a very cute and fluffy polar bear cub or two (and who could resist their adorable little faces?)

FEATURED BIBLE VERSE

The featured Bible verse I have chosen for the polar bear free printable gift items is from Psalm 31:19-20.
How wonderful are the good things You keep for those who honour You. Everyone knows how good You are, how securely You protect those who trust You. You hide them in the safety of Your presence. (I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather be… can you?)

POLAR BEAR ~ FUN FACTS FOR KIDS ~ FREE PRINTABLE

Polar Bear – FREE article for kids (Paper Gifts for Estefany) designed exclusively for our children and giving glory to God as Creator and putting Him at the centre of the package; also available in French; free printable

Polar Bear – fun facts for kids (answersingenesis) The polar bear’s skin is actually black. This helps absorb heat from the sun. The fur is made of clear, hollow tubes, and it covers even the bottoms of its paws. It is equally comfortable in the water and on land and it can travel up to 5,500 miles (8,860 km) a year; from scientists who take the Bible seriously; share a snippet with your child.

Grolars and Pizzlies – fun facts for kids (answersingenesis) Animal hybrids remind us of the original created kinds of Genesis 1. Have you ever heard of zonkeys, ligers, or wholphins? These are some of the interesting animal “hybrids”... Scientists have now released a full study of the hybrids born at Osnabrück in Germany. The two polar/grizzly hybrids were born in 2004… They are the offspring of a male polar bear and a female grizzly; information and photos from scientists who take the Bible seriously; share a snippet with your child.

What is a PIZZLY ~ and what has it got to do with the Bible? (creation.com) It looked like a polar bear, but had several features not normally found in polar bears, including brown fur around the eyes, long claws, and a slightly hunched back. DNA testing confirmed that it was the hybrid offspring of a polar bear mother and a grizzly bear father; from scientists who take the Bible seriously; share a snippet with your child

Polar Bear – bear KIND (answersingenesis) Polar bears are the northernmost member of the bear kind. They have black skin and water-repellant, hollow hair that reflects light, making them appear white. A thick layer of body fat protects them from the Arctic cold and the icy seawater… Because they are part of the same created kind, grizzly and polar bears can breed together? Their babies are called “grolar” or “pizzly” bears; from scientists who take the Bible seriously

Polar Bear designer feet inspire engineers (icr.org) Polar bears keep a tight grip on smooth ice using precisely designed footpads. Engineers have copied these exquisite designs. ‘…the pads of a polar bear’s foot are covered with small soft papillae [small bumps], which increase friction between the foot and the ice. There are also small depressions in the sole… probably absorb the thin layer of water that covers ice. When the Bridgestone tire company designed their Blizzak ice tire, they used a unique rubber manufacturing process that incorporated similar small depressions… tiny water pockets... videos of cars driving on ice reveal the result: a tire that can actually grip ice. Of course a God who created the heavens, Earth, sea, and everything in them would be wise enough and more than able to design ice-gripping bear paw pads… He also deserves credit for making man in His image, so that we can use our God-given wisdom to study and benefit from His excellent designs.’

Blizzard the Polar Bear (answersingenesisvbs) and his friends helps teach kids the Bible is unique. Even though this resource is for purchase, it has an important message and that is why I have listed it. Check it out. Every day, our children are bombarded with hostile messages that the Bible isn’t the true Word of God, that it can’t be trusted to tell us the truth about the past, or, more importantly, about how we can receive the gift of eternal life. At Operation Arctic VBS, your kids will warm up to the Word as they explore the coolest Book on the planet and discover how we can know for sure that the Bible is God’s written word to us. Grab your parka and snow boots! We’re headed deep into the stunning Arctic Circle that is filled with treasure and thrilling to explore. And be sure to pack your Bible—we’ll be learning all about that breathtakingly beautiful Book that is filled with treasure and thrilling to explore! Let’s plunge on in to this cold world and God’s wonderful Word! Operation Arctic promises be a flurry of fun and excitement! Let’s go!
