Since construction paper is so much thinner, if you use it over card stock for your Baby Yoda craft for kids, we’d suggest gluing the finished project to another colored paper so it doesn’t move around.
Glue the cut-out ears on each side of Baby Yoda’s head.
Place his coat body and glue it in place. Next, take the arms of the coat and glue them, one on each side, just below the top part of the coat.
Next, Cut out the arms and glue them just behind the coat arms. If you want to make them movable, you could also use popsicle sticks for this simple mom project. Brad fasteners instead of glue.
You can finish up here, or if you want to make it a little more detailed, use a light brown marker to draw fluff marks along the top of the coat. Use a darker brown marker to draw lines along the center of the coat.
