- Scissors
- Clear tape
- Googly eye stickers
- Glue
- Small pom-poms (for ears)
- Pipe cleaners (for tails)

Directions:

- Form the body: Cut the circle in half, then roll one half into a cone shape and secure it with clear tape.
- Add the face: Stick on googly eyes and glue two small pom-poms at the top for ears.
- Create the tail: Tape a pipe cleaner inside the back edge of the cone. Trim and bend it into a fun curly shape.
