As promised, here are a few panda paper crafts for the origami challenged. They look adorable and are easily made from a few pieces of paper, a good pair of scissors or an x-acto knife, and a printer. Well, looking at the instructions, I suppose the term easily is subjective!
This first one seems to be the simplest of the three.

You can download the template here, and the instructions here. The Canon site also has lots of other adorable animals to choose from.
Two more including my favorite after the cut!
I stumbled upon this guy a long time ago and finally have a chance to share him with others. I found him on the Yamaha Motors website, which I thought was a bit odd, but I’m glad I did. It just goes to show that pandas are ubiquitous! The template can be downloaded here, and the instructions here. As with the Canon site, this site also has several other animals to choose from.

And finally my favorite! This little panda mama and baby are just too cute for words. This one is definitely the hardest of the three, but in my opinion well worth it. It reminds me of when Tai was a little guy and pestering his mama. The template and instructions can be downloaded here.



And, just for fun. A lucky bamboo plant! You can download the template and instructions here.

The other paper crafts on the Epson site are amazing. I especially love the alphabet and numbers!

YES! Awesome! I’m the biggest origami freak (and the biggest panda fan) that you’ll ever meet! I’m definately gonna try out these projects. I think that you guys should definately put up more little craft projects like this.
