Step 1

Buy a green bucket at the Dollar Store.

Step 3

(PAINT OR) Cut out and glue two different sized white ovals and black ovals for eyes.  Leave a space between the hair and eyes for stitches.

 

Step 4

(PAINT OR) Cut out and glue a sideways letter ‘V’ shape (filled in with black).  With a permanent maker, draw a black curved line over the eyes.

 

Step 5

Draw lines over the curved line with a permanent marker.  (PAINT OR) glue on white string lines for teeth.

 

Step 6

Cut off egg carton cups… One for each bolt.  Paint them grey to look like real bolts.  Glue bolts on.
