Yesterday my Mum read me a story on how to make stuff and I wanted to make a monkey. I was going to make it all by myself but it was too hard. My Mum made it for me and I helped and this is how to make a monkey.
Get two big socks that are white and then cut one sock half way up in the middle and then stuff it. Then you cut two ears and a nose and then you get some cotton and thread it around but leave a little space with the ears. Then with the nose you make it so it's fat by getting cotton and stitching it around it and pulling it a bit. For the arms and tail you cut a kind of candy stick shape and join it together. Then you put the arms and the tail on the table and stuff them. You buy the stuffing from Big W. Then to join the top together you sew up the top of the head and then you get some cotton and sew around the head to make it so you can see that the head has a neck. Then you sew the tail and the arms and the legs on. Then you put a button for the nose and the two for the eyes. Then you put a cross for the belly button with cotton and then you get some cotton and make a smile for it. The end.
It was hard to make a monkey but at least I didn't have to do it all. Then Mum took the photos of the things while James was playing a Star Wars game. It looks quite weird with a tail hanging out but it looks cute at the same time.
Now my monkey is finished. It is a very cool monkey. It is white and I've got a collection of monkeys and now I've got eight. The last one that I got was for my birthday and my Nan made it and it has a banana and the banana can come out.
My monkey is making friends. She's making a friend with a small monkey that is 6 and I like all my monkeys. I love monkeys.
