You will need:
1 x Angel Wings in White
1 x Sheep Face in Grey
1 x Camel Nose in Brown
2 x Camel Ears in Brown
1 x Donkey Nose in White
2 x Donkey Ears in Grey.

Hope you enjoy this week, bookmark this blog and I will see you next week for Part 3.
You are going to need 11 bodies in total, we start with the big task so you have plenty of time to compete the bodies over the next 6 weeks as the rest of the task are significantly smaller :)
When I mention 'skin colour' it means you can choose whatever shade you like for the skin - they can be all the same, or all different, totally up to you.
The people with the 'robes' are worked in two colours, skin first followed by robe colour. The animals are solid colours. You will notice that the Camel is missing, that's because he is made slightly differently which we will do in lesson 4.
You will need:
1 x Mary in Skin and Pale Blue
1 x Joseph in Skin and Dark
Brown
1 x Angel in Skin and White
3 x Kings in Skin and Rich
Colours
3 x Shepherds in Skin and Dull
Colours
1 x Sheep in White
1 x Donkey in Grey
