2. The large round-ish piece is the lower body part of the panda and the other double-circular piece is the head. Attach the half circle piece to the top of the lower body. Attach the 2 eye cutouts on the eye patch cutouts and the 2 ear cutouts on the top end of the head cutout.
3. Attach the eye patterns and the 2 pink blush patterns on the head. Use a sharpie to draw the nose and mouth of the panda on the head below the eyes.
