Giant clown

To create a large colorful clown, you will need:

- a polystyrene cube (8 cm)

- a polystyrene disc (15 cm)

- patterned paper

- large round stickers

- eye stickers

- colored chenille stems

- a black marker

- a glue stick

- a pair of scissors

- a wooden skewer

Cut out 5 squares of 7.5 x 7.5 cm from patterned paper sheets.

These papers will allow us to cover the polystyrene cube and thus create a colorful high base.

Glue the squares of paper onto the styrofoam cube using a glue stick.

Note: It is not necessary to cover the sixth side of the cube (that side will not be visible).

Decorate the polystyrene disk with stickers to create the clown's face.

Start by sticking 3 large round stickers (the 2 eyes + the nose) as well as two medium-sized stickers for the cheeks.

Cut the round stickers into 2 pieces to create the mouth, tongue, and the top of the eyes.

Stick the 2 eye stickers and draw the eyelashes with a black marker. 

Cut 8 to 10 colored caterpillars (30 cm) into 2 pieces.

Insert the ends of the caterpillars into the polystyrene to create the clown's hair.

Tip: children can make holes with the wooden skewer in the polystyrene before inserting the caterpillars for easier placement!

Cut the wooden stake in half and then insert a piece below the clown's head.

The stake will be used to connect the body and the head of the character.

Insert the wooden stake into the polystyrene cube to assemble the two parts.
