Activities to Do With Panda Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. You can use these finished pages for all sorts of creative crafts and educational activities. Here are a few great ideas to try with your kids.
Cotton Ball Texture Art
Make your panda art three-dimensional. Since giant pandas are mostly white, you can use glue and cotton balls to fill in the white sections of the coloring page. This adds a fun sensory element and makes the bear look extra fluffy.
Create a Bamboo Forest Habitat
Help your child build a home for their panda. Take a large piece of green construction paper or poster board. Cut out the colored panda and glue it to the center. Then, use pipe cleaners, real leaves, or strips of green paper to create “bamboo” stalks all around the bear.
Panda Stick Puppets
This is perfect for imaginative play. Print the coloring pages on cardstock or thick paper. Once colored, cut the pandas out and tape a popsicle stick to the back. Your kids can now put on a puppet show or create their own stories about a panda’s adventure in the wild.
Panda Fact Booklet
Combine art with science. Print out 3 to 5 different pages. On the back of each sheet, help your child write a fun fact about pandas (like how much bamboo they eat). Staple the pages together to create a mini wildlife book they can read to friends and family.
DIY Panda Masks
Choose a coloring page that features a large, close-up panda face. After coloring, carefully cut out the eyes. Punch small holes on the sides of the paper and attach a string or an elastic band. Now your child can transform into a playful bear for the afternoon.
FAQs
Are giant pandas actually bears?
Yes, they are. For a long time, scientists debated whether pandas were more related to raccoons or bears. However, modern DNA testing has confirmed that giant pandas are true bears and belong to the Ursidae family.
What colors do I need for panda coloring pages?
You really only need a few supplies. A black crayon or marker is the most important tool for the ears, eyes, legs, and shoulders. You will leave most of the body white. However, you can use pink for the tongue, brown for dirt or trees, and plenty of green for the bamboo.
Why are pandas black and white?
Scientists have a few theories about this. The white fur likely helps them hide in snowy habitats during winter. The black fur helps them blend into the shadows of the forest. The contrasting colors may also help pandas spot one another in the wild.
How much bamboo does a panda eat?
They have huge appetites. An adult giant panda spends almost all its day eating. They can consume anywhere from 26 to 84 pounds of bamboo every single day to get the energy they need.
What is the difference between a red panda and a giant panda?
While they share a name and a love for bamboo, they are not closely related. The giant panda is a bear, while the red panda is much smaller (about the size of a cat) and is the only living member of its own unique family, Ailuridae.
Can I use markers on these coloring pages?
Absolutely. Markers create vibrant, bold colors that look great. Just keep in mind that markers can sometimes bleed through standard printer paper. If you plan to use them, try placing a scrap piece of paper underneath your coloring sheet to protect the table.
