As with all making you will hit a few frustrating obstacles on the way. That’s why makers become resourceful and resilient learners. I found I needed a sharp pencil to help punch holes for the cocktail sticks which form the whiskers.
Darrell Wakelam is a very creative, smart and generous man. He has the open source spirit. Even though he makes so many resources available for free online I had to buy his book because creative, smart and generous people ought to be supported and promoted.

Elaboration:
So far I have made just three of the designs suggested by Darrell Wakelam.
A mouse from an egg container (see above)
A chameleon from a paper plate
These are just a few of the up to a hundred different design ideas he has from recycled materials. I plan to do more.
It’s fairly straightforward, ie. open to nearly all, because many of his designs are on his site for free. You will need a few materials and then follow his step by step instructions
Each activity requires some sort of specialist although easily available materials as well as the materials common to most projects. You could group them into these type categories:paper plate – chameleon, puffin, caterpillar, baby shark
egg carton – mouse, monkey, chick, easter bunny
toilet roll – pirate ship, rocket ship, icecream, seahorse, heads, bird, flytrap
plastic milk carton – clown, elephant, warrior
just cardboard – castle, owl, sticky fish, starfish
etc.
