Instructions
1. Print out the PDF template sheet, then cut out the templates.

4. Then, take the alien’s hands, and glue them on both sides of the alien’s body.
5. Finish making the body by gluing both feet on the bottom of the alien.
6. Glue the round eye shape on the alien’s face.
7. Then, use a marker pen to draw the eyeball and the mouth.
8. Cut out two pointy teeth and a tongue using craft papers according to the size of your alien’s mouth.
Then glue them on the alien’s face.
9. Now for the final step, use a popsicle stick or cut out a strip from thick card paper and glue it on the back of the alien.
10. Repeat with other colours of paper and assemble the body parts to make other alien characters.
