How to Make It:

  1. For each critter, cut out two identical shapes from poster board or craft foam.

  2. Create a face on one shape by gluing on pompoms, wiggle eyes, and a chenille stick.

  3. For legs and arms, curl chenille sticks around a pencil. Glue them on the back of the face shape, then glue the face shape on the other shape, leaving a pencil-sized opening at the bottom. Use clothespins to hold the shapes in place until the glue dries.

  4. Glue on pompoms for hands and feet.

  5. Slip your critter on a pencil, or glue a magnetic strip on the back and hang it on the fridge.
