Step by step

  1. Roll a brown egg shape for the body.

  2. Press a flat beige oval onto the front as the belly.

  3. Roll a brown ball and press it on top as the head.

  4. Press a flat beige oval onto the face as the muzzle, with a black nose on top.

  5. Make two small flat ears and press them low on the sides of the head.

  6. Roll a thick tail that gets thinner at the end and two flat feet, and press them on at the bottom.

  7. Roll a small grey stone and hold it against the belly with two short arms.

  8. Press black eyes and pink cheeks onto the face. Done!

Tip

Press the stone against the belly first, then lay the arms over it.
