BOBO BLOCKHEAD : Page 43


Bore a finger-sized hole in a block of soft wood such as pine or balsa. Into this fit a finger tube of cardboard or leather to make the neck. Glue a plastic thimble or a red wooden bead in place for the nose. The eyes are two cloth-covered buttons with dots of black ink for pupils. The mouth is made with two cuts of a razor blade or sharp knife. A piece of white toothbrush plastic is glued in for a tooth. Cut ears out of cardboard or balsa and glue them in place. Glue on a wild wig of tangled yarn or just plain straw. Paint him with poster paints or, better yet, model airplane dope.
