A panda party is mostly for the adults, so make it easy on yourself and order Chinese
food. Stir fry is easy enough to make at home and you can include bamboo shoots in
your recipe. Kids will feel like they're eating an Asian feast with a simple meal of
spaghetti noodles with butter and Parmesan cheese in an Asian style bowl. Look for
kid friendly panda chopsticks, pictured right, to accompany your kid friendly meal.

licious recipe uses wheat, white and pumpernickel. The adults will surely
admire your attention to detail with this idea.
- Use your noodle. Kids will quickly get a handle on the food and chow down with
Panda chopsticks, which are great for spaghetti that you name Panda Chow
Fun.
Panda Party Decoration Ideas
- Set a Panda Paper Plate mask behind the chair of every guest.
- Yin-yang it. The ancient yin-yang symbol keeps with the Asian theme and
provides another interesting addition to your panda party for coasters and
more. Here's how to draw a yin-yang on your computer.
- It's bamboo for you! Pandas consume bamboo, so there's nothing more
apropos than decorating your panda party with bamboo:
- Make your own Bamboo shoots. This craft idea is a wonderful way to get
your child excited for the party.
- Go green. Have miniature pandas climb a lucky bamboo plant. Green is
also an excellent accent color for your party. Also, instead of latex or
mylar balloons, choose Japanese paper balloons, pictured right.
- Eat on bamboo plates and utensils. Create a table setting with bamboo
placemats, then add bamboo plates, bowls, forks, knives and spoons.
Sturdier, prettier and more ecologically responsible than plastic, you'll
make a statement as these are made from 100% organically grown
bamboo, and peeled directly from the bamboo stalk:

Panda Party
How to have a memorable panda party
A Panda party is an ideal first birthday theme (and we have lots of panda gift ideas
for kids). You can help save pandas along with some closet space in one fell swoop by
planning a Panda Party. Instead of the traditional gift giving birthday party, ask
friends and family to support organizations working to protect endangered giant
pandas. Here's how to get the party started for your little panda bear:

planning a Panda Party. Instead of the traditional gift giving birthday party, ask
friends and family to support organizations working to protect endangered giant
pandas. Here's how to get the party started for your little panda bear:
- Help save the panda by ordering a panda party kit for your party, which
includes posters, panda stickers, panda masks, panda postcards and an
information booklet, and can also include pins for every guest. How good you'll
feel for helping Pandas International!
- Bring a giant panda to your computer with Panda Cam, live streaming video.
- Send a free Panda E-card from the World Wildlife Fund to help educate your
friends and family about pandas as an endangered species. There are less
than 2000 pandas in the wild. Help reverse the trend: Adopt a Panda.
Panda Party favors
- Grin and panda-bear-it. Clutching at bamboo straws for favors? Felt favor bags
are easy to make with the Critter Clutch by Family Fun because it includes a
template for a panda bear. Fill it with black and white candies. Look online for
panda favors. We found the adorable panda soap, pictured right, at Duck
Pond Soaps on ETSY.
- Dress a panda: An absolute must for a panda party is to decorate your guests
with a panda shirt or decal, panda mask or panda ears. Make your own Mickey
Mouse style panda ears with a white headband and black ears.
- Make a Panda! This fun craft activity doubles as a memorable favor. The no sew
Panda Kit, pictured left, is an un-stuffed plush kit that includes the 8" plush
with enough fill to stuff it, plus a birth certificate and a wishing star insert. The
drawstring and Velcro back makes it easy to close without sewing or worry of
children re-opening and losing filling.
