Ethan could have created this handcraft by starting with a plain paper plate, which he turned into a cute animal face. He may have painted the plate white and added pink for the ears. For the facial features, Ethan likely used cut-out pieces of paper or felt for the eyes, nose, and mouth, and then glued them to the plate. He attached the plate to popsicle sticks to serve as the stand, allowing his animal creation to be displayed upright. His choice of a simple, smiling animal face reflects a creative and playful spirit, characteristic of a child’s imagination.
