1. Cut out one of the dividers from the centre of the egg carton. This will be the Bilby’s nose. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
2. Cut out an egg cup. This will be your Bilby’s face.
3. Sketch out the ears and body of your Bilby using a pencil on the lid of the egg carton. Cut out these pieces.
4. Cut two pieces of coloured paper to glue onto the front of your greeting card as a background. Allow to dry.
5. Paint your pieces. We mixed black and white paint to create grey. We also mixed magenta and white to create a pastel pink for the centre of the ears and nose.
6. Use glue dots to attach your pieces to the card. Place the body piece on first, followed by the ears, head and lastly the nose.
7. Add wiggle eyes to your Bilby using glue dots.
8. Write a nice message on the inside of your card. Your Bilby card is now ready to give to someone special!
