Made this fella for my son's birthday party. Blindfolded children were required to pin the tail to his/her/its backside. The legs swing as they are attached with those things that allow a swinging motion. Paint on cardboard like this, applied in such a way that some of the card comes through, is effective. Various features, the nose, the fangs, are raised from the surface by being glued-on-extra-cardboard-shapes.
