Cut the panda face: Cut out a large circle from the cardstock that will fit around the cup. This will be the face of the panda.
Decorate the face: Use markers or crayons to draw the panda’s features—ears, eyes, and mouth—on the circle. You can also add a colorful rainbow pattern above the panda’s face.
Attach the face: Use glue or tape to attach the decorated circle to the cup. Make sure it’s secure all around.
