Draw a Panda

Half the fun of this panda is what happens after the last line. Kids tap to fill the ears, eye patches, and nose in black, keep the tummy white, and maybe add a bamboo-green background, so panda coloring feels finished fast and always looks right. When you draw a panda online here, the picture can be signed with your child's name, saved to keep, or shared with family in seconds.

As a panda drawing for kids, this one is about as friendly as animals get. It suits ages 4 to 8 well: younger kids manage because nearly every shape is a circle, and older kids like how quickly the black and white pattern makes it look real.

The guided steps take it one shape at a time. First the big round head with two bumpy ears, then the tummy with little feet, two arms hugging the belly, and finally the famous tilted eye patches with a small eye inside each one. Every stroke is checked gently as it is drawn, which keeps this simple panda drawing encouraging from the first circle to the happy smile at the end.

How long does the panda take from start to finish?

The fourteen guided lines usually take five to eight minutes, and coloring adds a few more. It is one of our longer animals, but every step is small and easy.

Can my child draw the panda more than once?

Yes, as many times as they like. Each finished panda can be saved separately, so kids often make a whole family of pandas in different colors.
