Fold, snip, and unfold to create paperchains with loads of Floppys. So cute! Here's how:
- Color the Floppys. Ask a grown-up to help you cut out the strips along the black dashed lines.
- Fold back and fold along the white dotted lines (don't snip!). Then cut along the orange dashed lines. Now unfold your Floppy paper chains!
Top Tip: Glue the pages to pink paper before you snip out, so that it looks nice on the back too! Add cotton wool bunny tails to the back of your Floppys.
