1 piece of sponge
black permanent marker
small piece of yellow felt

2. String thread through each hole and knot ends together, leaving a 3-inch tail on the ends.
3. Using the remaining tail, tie a sponge to the string.

Small plastic cup, a L’eggs pantyhose egg, or a plastic deli container
Large bag cotton balls
Four miniature spring-action clothespins
Paintbrush and white paint
Black marker
Black pom-pom
Black felt
Googly eyes
Spread glue all over the cup and cover it with a coat of cotton balls. Paint four clothespins white and color the bottom tips (the part you squeeze) with black marker. Clip clothespins at even intervals around the bottom of the cup to form legs.

Glue a black pom-pom into position as the head, then glue on two ears cut from black felt. Attach googly eyes to the head–and don’t forget to add one last cotton ball as a fluffy tail.
