  3. Cut out two pincer shapes from the same sheet of orange card and stick them to the top of the back of the paper plate.
  4. Cut out two thin rectangles from the orange card and stick them to the middle of the back of the paper plate at the top.
  5. Peel the backing off of two jumbo wiggle eyes and stick them to the top of the orange rectangles.
  6. Use a black pen to draw a mouth onto the front of the paper plate.
