Panda Bears

By Janice VanCleave

Panda Bears are considered special in China.

Ancient emperors of China kept panda bears as pets. These pets were thought to have magic powers that could scare away evil spirits as well as natural disaster.

Today, pandas are believed to be a symbol of peace and good fortune.

Pandas only eat bamboo and can sleep in trees.

The skin under a panda’s black fur is white, and the skin under the white fur is pink.

The teeth of a giant panda are about seven times bigger than the teeth of people.

Giant pandas sit or lye down when they eat. They must eat every 5 to 6 hours.

While kids will have fun doing the activities and learning to love science, they are also being encouraged to develop other skills, including reading, writing, math, and art.
