You'll need:

1 x Tennis Ball

1 x, maybe 2, pink balloons

2 x googly eyes

1 x pink pipe cleaner

2 x small pieces of pink felt for ears

Prepare the Tennis Ball

Take off a slice off the ball. It needs a flat spot to stop rolling.

Cut Balloon As Shown

Take a regular size balloon - this one is 25"diameter

Stretch Balloon Over the Ball

I needed two to hide the ball colour. Don't worry about being tidy underneath, it won't show

Make the Snout

Taking the left over neck of the balloon, trim it short then twist it a little and stick to the ball

Ears

We had these pre-cut crescent shapes lying around which made for perfect for ears

Pierce a Hole for the Tail

I found a skewer worked best

Wind a Curly Tail From the Pipe Cleaner and Stick in the Hole You Just Made

and stick on the eyes
