Many kids think red pandas are a type of raccoon or fox, so it is fun to explain that they are their own kind of animal. Real red pandas have rusty red fur on top, dark brown or black legs and belly, white markings on the face and a tail with light and dark rings. They live in cool mountain forests in Asia, which suits a winter or mountain theme.
Use orange-red and a little brown for the back and tail rings. Leave the face markings white and color the legs dark so the red panda looks real. Colored pencils work well for the soft, fluffy edges of the ears and cheeks.
