Tried and True Paper Plate Panda – Kid Craft Idea

Calling all my crafty {and polite} kids! I have another kid friendly craft for you all and it’s absolutely worthy of your time today!

Not only is our Paper Plate Panda {Kid Craft} super simple and fun for all ages – but it also goes along PERFECTLY with the adorable book Please, Mr Panda by Steve Antony.

Steve Antony has captured a cute panda, delightful animals hungry for doughnuts, and a manners lesson. With the black-and-white animals, plain backgrounds, and brightly colored doughnuts, Antony’s art is bold, striking, and engaging.

So what is the proper way to ask Mr. Panda for doughnuts? Well – to find out, you need to channel your inner artist with our easy paper plate and tissue paper panda kid craft tutorial that you will find below and then you can read the book in celebration afterwards, to find out the “how to!”

Happy crafting my friends! {by the way – our Paper Plate Donut {Kid Craft} also goes along perfectly with this children’s book!} Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished paper panda craft with us on our Facebook page!

To Make Your Panda Craft You Need:

* Large Paper Plate {one per panda bear craft}
* White Tissue Paper
* Black Colored Cardstock
* School Glue
* Kid Friendly Scissors
* Hand-Held Office Stapler

The How-To Directions:

* First have your children cut the white tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Now take your paper plate and put a good amount of glue in the center of the plate.
* Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the center is completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out the facial features of the panda from the black cardstock {think eyes, ears, nose, mouth, etc}
* To finish off the Paper Plate Panda craft – have children glue on the cardstock pieces to the paper plate and display proudly!
* Don’t forget to snap a few pictures to share with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomyrafts
