Half a silver paper plate

Pink paper feet

Pink pipe cleaner for tails

White paper head

Pom poms for a nose

Googly eyes

Tape

Crayons 

Directions

STEP 1

Pick a paper plate for the body of your opossum.

STEP 2

Get a head, a front leg, and a back leg plus a pink tail.

STEP 3

Glue the legs on. The skinner leg goes in the front and the bigger leg goes in the back. You will need to use tape to get the tail to stick to the paper plate.

Pick a white head. You can glue on a pom pom for the nose and a googly eye, or you can draw them with a crayon. Stick the head on to the front of your Opossum. Have fun with your new animal friend!
