Unlike your average tin men, these foil characters have plenty of heart. All it takes is a pinch here and there to make them strike any pose your child likes. Here's how to shape one.

1. Tear a rectangular sheet (about 25 by 40 centimetres) from a roll of aluminium foil.

2. Make two cuts down from the top of the sheet and one cut up from the bottom, as shown. (For a pet, make two cuts up from the bottom.)

3. Scrunch together the centre of the sheet to form a torso.

4. Pinch and mould the upper corners into arms, and the lower corners into legs and feet. Shape the upper midsection into a head and neck. (The lower midsection makes the tail of the pet.)
