The nose resembles a triangle with rounded corners. Draw the dark circles under the eyes in an oval shape. At the end, draw the circles for the holes for the elastic.

Cut out the finished panda mask with scissors. You can also assign this task to the children - they will definitely look forward to the opportunityto take part in the crafting. The project is simply the perfect activity for preschoolers on a rainy weekend.

Drill the eye holes and the holes for the elastic band with the pencil to make cutting out easier. Optionally, you can also punch the holes for the elastic band.

Then pull a rubber band through the small holes.
