My son's first styrofoam creation

I was working on a recent project, and I noticed my son was getting pieces of the styro that I threw into the discard pile. He came out of his room and had this.  "Daddy it is one of those really tall birds..."  "A crane?" "Yeah that's it."

Update on Grant the Pirate Puppy Puppet (try and say that 5 times fast)

I reglued the top mouthplate up higher into the jaw so he has an upper lip. 

 It also lets the smaller bottom jaw fit inside when the mouth is closed.

I cut the tip of the face off so the nose will lay flat.

Then I started on the felt. I used the foam pattern and added a half an inch all the way around. Then I cut out the felt and pinned it on the foam.

It barely fit.

The neck didn't fit at all.

I had to trim a few spots to make it lay flat.

Stay tuned for more.
