Assembly:

1. Put on the black tunic and tie the yellow belt around your waist.
2. Put on the red kerchief and tie it under your chin.

4. Insert the corn cob pipe into your mouth.
5. Hold the spinach can label in your hand.

Tips:

• If you don’t have a light blue fabric, you can use a different color fabric, but light blue will look the most authentic.
• If you don’t have large buttons, you can use smaller buttons or sew on a piece of fabric with buttons on it.
• If you don’t have black yarn, you can use a different color yarn.
• If you don’t have white pillow stuffing, you can use cotton balls or another type of stuffing.
• If you don’t have a yellow belt, you can use a different color belt.
• If you don’t have a corn cob, you can use a wooden dowel or another type of pipe.
• If you don’t have green foam, you can use another type of material to make the pipe.
• If you don’t have a spinach can label, you can draw one on paper and cut it out.
