Assembly and ring markings

1. Stuff the head, body, legs and tail, checking the tail already filled after Round 13. Stuffing the small ears and arms is optional. Pin the pieces into position before attaching.

2. Attach in this order: legs, tail, arms, ears, then head. Keep the head separate until its marking is added.
3. Cut five hollow yellow felt circles: two smallest for the arms, two slightly larger for the legs, and the largest for the centre of the forehead. Alternatively, embroider the rings or make yellow crochet chains and sew them into rings.
