Top Tip
When you place the platypus in your book, put the body behind the page and bring the bill over the top and in front.
How to Make



- Print off the Platypus template and cut out.
- Place the platypus body on brown foam and draw around. Cut out.
- Draw round the flippers and bill on black foam. Cut out.
- Glue the flippers to the brown body as shown.
- Turn over the brown body so the flippers are now on the underside, and glue the top part of the bill halfway up the head.
- Ensure you stick only the top of the bill to the head as the base of the bill should be able to flip up like a flap.
- Add the wiggle eyes, and with a white marker add web lines to the flippers.
- Leave to dry.
