According to the size you want the monkeys to have, make a pattern in a paper sheet, or cardboard, this will allow you to make many monkeys from one pattern. Draw and cut each pattern, (whether it be with the xacto knife or scissors what fits best for you) I made the face, belly and ears pattern of the same color, as the diaper and the pacifier, depending the ocasion, and baby/child age you can use different colors and mix them.


Let's Stick!

glue the patterns, draw the face before sticking the pacifier on the monkeys mouth and there it is ready to go! a good option to decorate your children room, or for a children party.
