STEP 2: Colour them!
Colour and cut out the pieces from the template that you have chosen to use.
STEP 3: Make the body.
Take the cutout pieces and glue the hands to the arms. In the same way, attach the shoes to the legs. Once you have your arms and legs ready, glue them to the body cutout shape.

Glue the head to the body. If you have used the template for the face add googly eyes to add a pop of fun and draw a smile and a nose. If you want to use the face mask, just add the eyes and the nose and glue on the mask.
