Product Review
Realistically rendered in creamy off-white and dark brown fur, with soft plastic claws on weighted paws, this Panda puppet is a gentle tribute to its swiftly disappearing wild counterpart. Hand enters from chest area to work the mouth and front legs.
FACTS OF INTEREST- Pandas live only in the remote wet mountains of central China where bamboo thrives. They used to live all over China.
- Based on chromosome tests, pandas have been classified as a subfamily of bears. They also share characteristics with raccoons.
- Pandas feed on twenty varieties of bamboo exclusively. Due to a short digestive tract, they have to eat large quantities, sometimes 40 pounds a day.
- Because they only have one baby every other year and because their habitat continues to be destroyed, pandas are seriously endangered.

I am on a puppet team at my church and I purchased this puppet to use for our VBS. It is better than I thought it would be. I am very happy with my purchase. It looks realistic, it is durable, and I will be using it for years to come.
Perfect!,

This toy is my son's favorite. He loves pandas and after checking it out from the library week after week, we decided he probably needed his own. It goes everywhere with him! We love these puppets, but they aren't floppy like moost puppets and can function like a normal stuffed animal too! Great toy!!
A Family Favorite,

This is a great puppet. It is small enough to be Held and cuddled, non- threatening to children, but big enough that my grown son can manipulate it. It looks real enough that people are startled and have to take a second look to realize it is a puppet. And of course pandas are so well loved in general that this generates a crowd at weddings and other gatherings. We have had a similar panda puppet from the same manufacturer for several years. It has lasted very well. It was so popular we bought more for gifts. The new puppets are also cute, but are made of slightly different materials which change the look somewhat.
