Kid Territory:Recipes: Panda Pita Pockets
This wouldn't be
a complete animal recipe collection without including one of the most
loved, yet endangered,
animals in the world–the giant panda. All pandas left in the wild
live in China, and the Chinese people are working very hard to protect
them. This large black-and-white bear spends up to 16 hours a day eating.
Bamboo is its main diet,
though it is fond of honey, too. The panda has very thick fur and will
clean itself by rolling in the dirt! Pandas also love to do somersaults.

some Panda Pita Pockets.
Ingredients
Pita pocket
bread cut in halves (like half moons)
Cream
cheese
Chocolate chips
Mix chocolate chips into some cream cheese and spread a batch inside one of the pita halves. Munch away! Now that you've created your "black-and-white" panda treat, what other color combinations can you think of? How about purple-and-white pandas (cream cheese and grape jelly) or red-and-white pandas (cream cheese and strawberry jam)? Your snack can be delicious no matter what color your panda is!
