Felt scraps in brown, orange or cream, at least 10 x 10 cm per child
2 googly eyes per creature, at least 1 cm across
PVA glue or strong glue stick
Safety scissors
Step by Step
Cut ear or wing shapes from the felt, each at least four centimetres wide. Four-year-olds can cut these themselves with safety scissors; younger children may need an adult to cut them.
Glue the felt shapes onto the top of the pinecone and hold them for one minute until the glue grips the scales.
Glue two googly eyes onto the face end and leave flat for twenty minutes to set before playing.
