This panda is a simple cut and paste paper craft that is fun for
young children to make. It makes a great project for preschool and
kindergarten kids and works well for an animals, China or letter P theme.
There
is a small (single page) and larger (two templates) version to choose
from.
Materials:
something to colour with if using the
B&W version,
scissors,
glue, and
paper
You can use brass tacks instead of glue to
attach the head or arms if you want them to be moveable.
Instructions:
Print out the template of choice.
Colour (where appropriate).
Cut out the template pieces -- parents can help cut out some of the more
difficult pieces like the bamboo while children work on the easier
pieces like the body and legs.
Glue the panda together in the following order:
glue the feet behind the body
glue the arms onto the body
glue the bamboo into one of the hands
glue the head onto the body
