Stick scissors yeah and you need a lot of colored pencils yes and then also what is this that we have our cutout yeah this is the printable and you can go over to our website we’ll leave a link below this video where you can download it from our website now it’s

For free but there’s three pages that you need to print out there’s the head page there’s also the body body page and what’s the last page the links yeah the legs so pause the video right now gather up all these supplies and then come back

And we’re going to show you how to color and assemble alex okay hopefully you have all of the supplies gathered up now we’re going to fast forward the coloring but you can pause the video at the end and match the coloring that we do on

Each of the pages okay you ready to fast forward yes should be a lot of coloring you ready yes okay let’s do it man now you guys can pause the video so that you can match the coloring that we did but let’s move on we’re gonna do the body next you ready

Now you guys at home can pause the video again so that you can match the coloring that we did now one of the things that you want to make sure you also do is extend her the the flesh color down for the bottom of her hands and also her

Shirt on top of her shoulders all right dude let’s put this off to the side and now we’re going to color what her legs yeah we’re gonna color her legs next you ready fast forward again yeah all right let’s do it now you can pause the video one last

Time to match the coloring on the legs we did brown here and we mix light gray and black to get a darker gray yes and then we also put green up here okay now we’re finished coloring so we’re going to get all of our paper and we’re going

To cut out each of the pieces okay ready fast forward again yeah all right let’s do it now one last thing to remember is we’re just cutting on the thick black line so we’re just cutting around the outside of each piece right we got all of our pieces cut

Out now we can put our scissors off to the side now the first thing we’re going to do is fold the head now we’re going to fold along all the dashed lines that’s the first thing we’re going to do and then we’re going to glue it together okay

Now that we have all of the dashed lines pre-folded we’re going to use our glue stick and put glue on all of the tabs and i’m going to do it quickly before the glue dries okay i got glue on all of those tabs now i’m going to start on the bottom and i’m

Going to line up that tab with the edge for the side of the box the side of her head and we’re going to go around on the bottom and glue all of the tabs first down on the bottom see now we can glue this one i think it’s a little easier if

You do all of the sides first so we’ll tuck that in like that and then this last edge right here we’ll tuck in we’re going to pinch them together so they’ll stay and then the very last step i’m going to glue the top and tuck that

Last tab in just like that and you can pinch the corners so it’ll stay you want to do yours yeah all right nice job jack you did it all right now let’s move on to the body we’re going to fold along all the dash lines next okay

All right now we have all of those folds done we’re going to open it back up and we’re going to use that glue stick again and we’re going to glue all of the tabs now that they’re all glued the body is a little different than the head i’m going to glue the bottom

To the side and i’m going to glue the top to this side to the short side like that and then we’re going to glue the other short side or the side of her arms i should say okay now that i have all of the sides glued i’m gonna fold this back piece it

Looks like a lid or the the last little flap and we’ll just fold it down i’m gonna pull it tight we’ll do that again and pull it tight and squish it down onto all of those tabs there we go ready to do yours now we’re going to move on to the legs

We’re going to repeat all those same steps that we did for the head and for the body let’s do the pre-fold then we’ll glue the tabs and we’ll put it all together okay now with the legs i think it’s easier if we glue the top and the bottom so glue the top

And also the bottom at the same time and then i’m going to switch over to this side glue the top and also the bottom down here and then the back of her legs will close just like we did on our body now it looks like a little lid

You can just tuck the tab in and press the corners together all right jack we got all of the pieces finished i hope you are following along with us and all your pieces are finished also now we’re going to glue these together so this is the back of her

Pants this is the back of her body so we can face those down and it’s going to line up just like that and then this is the front of her head right yes it’s got the eyes and the mouth yeah now let’s glue her pants to her body first

And if your glue stick doesn’t work very well you could also use a piece of tape all right now let’s glue her head on to her body you want to make sure that the body is lined up in the middle of her head so we’ll pick her body up and we’re

Gonna squish her head down right on the middle all right and then once you get it stuck on there if it if the glue stick doesn’t work sometimes elmer’s glue or hot glue gun or even just a piece of tape will make it stick even better right yeah oh

It does just oh it stands up she can even do a headstand huh yeah we’ll see you later our friends goodbye bye wait wait maybe we could do a flip oh i just can’t just captain alex oh her head popped off
