You Will Need:
- 1 - 2" by 3" oval pom pom for head (To make the pom poms oval simply make the pom as if you were making a 3" round pom and shape it to an oval. They often come out rather oval shaped anyways) I usually use gray yarn, although I have made them other colors upon request.

Directions:
Glue the head and body pom poms together length-wise using the hat-pin method.
Next glue the arms, legs and snout the same way.
Glue on your felt pieces and google eyes to finish the hippo.
Wait until he is totally dry before removing the pins
