Panda bears are so fascinating and we keep making all kinds of
Panda bear crafts at home.Sharing how we made an easy "
Panda on a Bamboo" Penstand. This one is probably one of my all time favorite kids craft project because it was so quick and easy .

Materials RequiredAnything cylindrical to recycle:Tin can , glass jar, tissue roll,Cardboard container etc.We recycled a tin can to make our penstand.
To make the Bamboo : Use any green/ yellowish green material to line your cylinder-Card stock / Foam / Felt or even cloth. We used foam...I find its easier to maintain when you have a forever dust accumulating roadside house!
To make the Panda:Card stock / Foam / Felt.We used foam...its a fantastic medium to use when crafting with kids as you can wipe off finger stains,glue stains,food stains and whatever else little fingers will contribute !
To cut :Scissors /Punches/Dies - Simply hand cutting would be the fun and easy way to make this project but since I have a die cutting machine I used dies to cut out oval and circular shapes to make our Panda. I let my little one decide the shapes and sizes of the body parts.
Adhesive:This is the most important factor to make a quick , easy and mess free foam craft project! You can use anything which little hands can peel off easily such as double sided foam tape,double sided adhesive tape [my favorite as its adhesive properties are much better than the foam tape] or glue drops

We lined the the edges of the green foam with double sided adhesive tape [bought locally] and stuck it on the tin.I also stuck a strip of the double sided adhesive tape on the inner top edge of the tin and folded down the foam as shown to give a neater edge to our
Bamboo penstand !

We roughly played with our cut circles and ovals.Do ignore our scallop edges....[I only had scallop dies and not the regular circle and ovals!] My daughter complained our Panda looked like a flower!

My little one assembled the face using glue drops [ glue drops are a lifesaver when crafting with kids! Nowadays they are available in rolls too which makes it even easier for little ones!].Our Panda's ears and snout are scallop circles and the black eye is actually a flower !! Proper circles and ovals would be a better choice to make a Panda !

To raise the snout we layered 2 white circles on Panda's face.

We wanted to raise the body off the Bamboo stand so we used sticky foam tape on the circular black body of our Panda foam craft.

We used ovals for the arms and legs of our foam craft Panda.

Our Panda looked glum without a smile!

So my little one added a rosy red tongue and a paper umbrella.

We had also made some Panda pencil toppers in a similar way using smaller parts but I think the dog ate it![Just joking...its lost somewhere in our super messy house!]
