 |
Materials:
- printer,
- paper,
- scissors,
- glue,
- something to colour with.
Optional Materials - for movable limbs:
-
thin cardboard (old cereal boxes)
-
brass tacks
-
hole punch.
Instructions:
- Print out the template of choice (there's a small version and a larger version).
- Colour pieces, as necessary.
- Cut out the pieces. This step may require adult assistance. I usually let young children cut out the large pieces (like template 1 and 2) and I cut out the smaller pieces.
- Glue Mr. Candy Corn together as follows:
- Glue body Activities onto the large body piece (yellow on the bottom, then orange, then white on top)
- Glue the face onto the body -- note: instead of the template pieces, you could use wiggly eyes, a pom pom nose and marker mouth
- Glue the legs under the body
- Glue the arms onto the side of the body
- Alternative ASSEMBLY - moveable limbs:
- glue the body (template 1) and the arms and legs (template 3) onto thin cardboard before cutting them out
- Glue body Activities onto the large body piece (yellow on the bottom, then orange, then white on top)
- Glue the face onto the body -- note: instead of the template pieces, you could use wiggly eyes, a pom pom nose and marker mouth
- punch a hole in each of the arms and legs with a hole punch.
- punch a hole through the body where the arms and legs would be attached (shoulders and bottom of the shirt)
- put the brass tacks through the limbs and the body so that the limbs are moveable.
Templates:
- After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
- If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
• In most browsers: Print → More settings → Margins → Minimum
• Or use Page Setup / Printer Setup in your printer dialog
