Kids adore pandas and quickly learn that bamboo is almost all they eat. Ask which parts of the panda are black: the ears, eye patches, legs and a band across the shoulders. The rest is white. Pandas live in the mountains of China, so they work well with a lesson on China or with Lunar New Year crafts.
Kids only need black and green for a panda page. Color the black parts with a crayon or marker, leave the white fur as paper, and fill the bamboo with two shades of green.
