Draw 4 pointed (triangular-shaped) teeth along the bottom somewhat in the middle. Leave a space with 2 on one side and 2 on the other. All teeth are colored in with that same blue marker.

Tongue – Use a pink marker to draw a tongue. Center it in the middle of the mouth placed coming down from the top of the mouth. It should be about 1 ½ “ long and 1 “ wide. Do not color it in. Have a short line coming up the tip of the tongue drawn from the bottom of the tongue.

5.     Ears -  Use the same pink construction paper to cut out ears. They should be rounded shaped with straight sides where they are glued on the head. Ex:         They should be 1 ½ by 1 ½ “ long. Glue these to the side of his head, centered.
