Pandy Paws
Cat-tastic bedroom
Pandy Paws is Gabby's best friend and the easiest character for a shy child to copy, because most of what he does is imaginative play in a bedroom that looks a lot like theirs.

Three things to do in the cat-tastic bedroom
- Activity 1
Build a blanket-fort bedroom
Drape a sheet between two chairs, add cushions and a torch, and let your child give the fort a name the way Gabby names her rooms.
- Activity 2
Soft-toy sleepover
Line up five stuffed animals, give each one a job for the night, and act out a bedtime routine. Great for children resisting their own bedtime.
- Activity 3
Panda-ear headband
Two paper circles stapled to a strip of card. Ten minutes of craft, an afternoon of wearing it.
Pandy Paws questions parents ask
- Is Pandy Paws a cat or a panda?
- Both — he is a panda-cat hybrid, which is why he has panda colouring with cat ears and a tail.
- Why is Pandy Paws good for anxious preschoolers?
- His stories are low-stakes and set in a bedroom, so the emotional beats are familiar: sharing, tidying up, going to sleep.
