1. Place stuffed socks inside the hood of a sweat suit.

2. Cut eyes from felt or foam, and glue them to the top of the hood.

1. Cut a slit through the middle of the sides of a cardboard box so you can "telescope" the ;enght of the sides to fit your child.

2. Flare out the top flaps, and cut an oval at the bottom to fit the child's body.

3. Turn the box upside down. Cut a circle of cardboard (like a pizza base) into quarters.

5. Paint the box, or cover it with package wrap and pieces of bright paper. Tape all the seams and edges.
