Everyone loves the giant panda bear! I like to start by telling the children a little about the panda. They are considered a national treasure to China.
Basic Panda Facts
* Pandas are mammals
* They live in the bamboo forests of China
* They eat bamboo, a kind of grass that grows where they live. In zoos they eat bamboo, apples, sweet potatoes, carrots and other vegetables.
* They are black and white
* They are endangered wich means people have to protect and take care of them and their forests so that they can survive.
Very simple Panda puppets can be made from small paper lunch bags.
Panda Paper Bag Puppets
Supplies needed:
* Paper bags
* Black construction paper
* Glue
* Scissors
* Markers or crayons
Fold the two square edges of a paper bag under (see dotted lines), to form the animal's chin.
Cut out shapes (you can uses just circles of different sizes) to form the ears, eyes, a nose, and paws. Glue them to the panda.
Puppets are always great ways to stimulate imagination and enhance story time.
Try this for one of your Chinese New Year's ideas.
