Let's make some crafts!

Materials

  • Monkey and lion templates
  • Colouring pencils
  • Scissors
  • White glue

Steps

1

Colour the monkey or lion template however you like.

2

For a neater finish, you can also colour the back of the animal's face (3).

3

Cut out the head (3) and the two body pieces (1 and 2) along the outline.

4

Spread a little white glue around the edge of the body, leaving the bottom open.

5

Glue the two body pieces together…

6

…and then the head.

7

Now open up the space inside the body so you can slip your finger in. A paintbrush can make this easier.
