What you'll need:

1 x tennis ball

1 x ping ping ball

1 x pink balloon

2 x pipecleaners

3 x pins

superglue

It's worth including a photo of the pipecleaners as they have some unusual waves in them.

Prepare the Body

This photo was taken part way through the build after the pipecleaner legs had been attached.

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

Cut the balloon in two pieces with the bulbous part about 1/3 of the length. Stretch the ballon over the tennis ball as shown.

Cut 2 pieces of pipecleaner, glue and bend to shape

Prepare Head

The cut end of the balloon should locate over the hole in the ball
