Description
This model brick kit lets you build your own panda, piece by piece, into a neat little standing figure in crisp black and white. The bricks are plastic (ABS) and press together by their studs to form the bear's chunky white body, its black legs and shoulder band, the dark patches around its eyes, its rounded ears and its small black nose. The finished panda measures 6.7cm long, 3.2cm wide and 4.7cm high, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand, and the whole kit weighs 26 grams.
We like it as a quiet, absorbing project for a rainy afternoon at the kitchen table, a few minutes' break at a desk or an evening on the sofa. It is a toy and a puzzle at once: there is the satisfaction of watching the panda take shape, and then a cheerful little model to keep. Once it is built, it stands on a desk, a bookshelf, a windowsill or a bedside table, where its black and white blocks look neat beside books and plants. It suits anyone who loves pandas or enjoys making things with their hands.
The panda is built from small plastic bricks, each with round studs on top that grip the brick above, so the model holds together once it is built. Black bricks pick out the legs, ears, eye patches, nose and the band across its shoulders, while white bricks make up the head and body, just as a real panda's markings fall. To keep it looking fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth if it needs more. Because it is made of bricks, it can be taken apart and built again whenever you fancy another go. We think it makes a charming little gift that takes up almost no room, and a cheerful bit of black and white on any shelf.
