Step by step
Roll a yellow ball and roll it out into a sausage.
Bend the sausage into a banana shape.
Roll two small brown balls.
Press a brown tip in place at each end.
Press a small green piece under one brown tip: that’s the stalk.
Roll two small black balls for the eyes.
Press the eyes onto the banana and press a tiny white dot onto each eye.
Add pink cheeks and a black mouth. Done!
Tip
Make the ends a little thinner than the middle, so it looks more real.
