Instructions

Step 1: Print template

Print the template and find a clean surface to work on. Make sure you have everything you need.

Step 2: Cut paper

Cut one piece of green paper to the same height as the toilet roll. Make sure it is long enough to wrap around the roll and overlap a little at the end.

Step 3: Cut out templates

Cut the legs out loosely from the template. Use Blu Tack^® to stick them to a piece of green paper. Cut around the template. Once cut out, remove the template and Blu Tack^®. Repeat with the tongue on red paper. Curl the rounded end of the tongue around the marker so the end curves upwards. Use markers to add details.

Step 4: Glue together

Using your Bostik glue stick, attach the straight legs onto the front and the bent legs onto the back. Stick the eyes on the front so the top half of the eye is above the end of the roll. Apply Bostik glue to the top of the tongue only and stick just below the mouth. How adorable!
