Needle felting is a wonderfully creative and mindful hobby which allows you to relax and focus plus it’s very addictive and this cute pony can be made between 4 to 6 hours approx, depending on the makers experience

Needle felting can be very absorbing, however, please take care as the needles are so sharp, it’s essential that they are stored appropriately after use and disposed of carefully if they break. If you’re buying this kit for a child under the age of 12, we recommend you provide supervision and are very careful when using the needles. Always replace needles in storage immediately, after use or pausing in your work.

NOTE: You will need some cheap rice for the cotton calico bag and fill the bag about ¾ full and close securely. In order to use the needle correctly, for felting, you need to be able to jab it down into the wool, and to avoid injury to yourself and possible damage to furniture, is essential to have this little rice filled bag.

A Little Info About The Giant Panda

The giant panda is among the world’s most adored and protected rare animals, and is one of the few in the world whose natural inhabitant status was able to gain a UNESCO World Heritage Site designation

The giant panda is a vulnerable species, threatened by continued habitat loss and by a very low birthrate, both in the wild and in captivity.

They live mainly in temperate forests high in the mountains of southwest China, where they subsist almost entirely on bamboo. They must eat around 26 to 84 pounds of it every day, depending on what part of the bamboo they are eating. They use their enlarged wrist bones that function as opposable thumbs.
