The above cute Panda Bear currently resides in my Etsy Shop where he would welcome your visit. Panda Bear is just one of the collection of bears (and bear-related items) who frolic in my Land of Crochet.
This toy Giant Panda Bear is hand-crocheted in black & white acrylic yarn and filled with soft, new polyfil. His features are crocheted and embroidered, with plastic safety eyes in the center of the black 'patches'.
This little roly-poly panda is just 5 x 6 inches and weighs about 8 ounces, a much better size to be a child's playmate as compared to the real Giant Panda who lives in the mountains of Central China and can grow to 4-6 feet tall and weigh over 250 pounds.
The Red Panda also lives in China and the Himalayas. Much smaller than the Giant Panda, the red panda is only a bit larger than a domestic cat and looks more like a raccoon than a bear. You can see what a red panda actually looks like in this beautiful photo by Sylvestermouse. She put this darling red panda photo on a lovely greeting card, which is available in her Zazzle store. It is also featured on other items.
Adorable Red Panda toy bear handmade in crochet by Liliya of Westfield, MA. It can be found among a variety of plush toys in her Etsy Shop BabyCrochetsShop.
I see by some calendars that March 16 is National Panda Day. A fun way to celebrate would be to read your child a book about Panda Bears while they cuddle a plush animal Panda Bear.
Please, Mr. Panda is a delightful storybook about 'manners' showing a panda bear offering donuts to his black & white animal friends (a penguin, a skunk, and a whale) who forget to say "please" and "thank you". The book is geared toward 3-5 year olds in the pre-school to kindergarten range.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your visit, Carol. My panda bears and I are delighted you stopped by.
DeleteGiant Pandas and Red Pandas are both fabulous creatures and fun to watch. You crochet pandas, like all of your critters, are adorable! Thank you for including my Zazzle card. That little Red Panda is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, Mouse. Interesting that the Giant Panda and the Red Panda both live in China and are called Panda Bears, yet the Red Panda doesn't look anything like a bear... or like the Giant Panda (except in my crocheted interpretation...lol).
DeletePanda's are so adorable. And I love your talent with crochet. I can do flat items. Period. Your plushies are always so cute.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate your sweet compliment, Dawn Rae. Thanks for stopping by to see my plush pandas. :)

ReplyDeletePanda Bears are just irresistible, aren't they, Grammie O Morris. I think they are always a favorite at zoos and in plush animals!
