How to make our cute paper plate panda

Start by taking your black card and cutting out two large panda ear shapes. Glue them down in position on the back of your paper plate. Cut out a small tuft of hair and glue it on the plate between the ears.

Next cut out two rounded teardrop shapes to make the panda’s eyepatches. Stick them in place on the front of your plate as you can see above with the thicker part of the eye downwards.

Next you’ll need two large white circles to make the whites of the eyes. Glue them on the bottom of the eye patches.

Now it’s time to finish the eyes. Add a smaller black pupil to each eye then optionally add a couple of small white circles to each eye to make the eyes look cute and watery.

Cut out a rounded triangle nose and then a curved anchor shaped mouth. Glue the two pieces down onto the paper plate and once dry your cute paper plate panda is ready to display.
