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 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!
