How to make it
To make the sporty penguin
color a small satin ball with
black marker and glue it to a
larger, white ball. Glue black
felt wings, as shown, and a pair
of orange felt feet to the larger
ball. On the small black ball
glue googly eyes and a coiled
orange pipe cleaner for a beak
Cut a scarf shape from green
felt, wrap it carefully around
the penguin's neck, using small
dabs of glue to keep it in place
For a Yuletide pup, color a ball
with marker, then glue on googly
eyes, floppy felt ears, and
pom-pom cheeks and a nose. Add
pom-pom fur tufts to the top of
the ball and the bottom of
the ears to make a poodle. To
construct a snow-white mouse
glue rounded felt ears to a satin
ball, googly eyes, and pom-poms
for cheeks and a nose. To make a
Christmas kitty, color a satin ball
with a marker and glue on googly eyes
pom-poms for the nose and cheeks
and 2 small felt triangles for
the ears. Use black marker to make
stripes on a pipe cleaner and glue
one end of the pipe cleaner
to the back for the tail. Glue a
loop of ribbon to the top
of each critter to hang it.
