Make cuts on the strip. Then sew it to the hood. We got a mane. We make eyes. Cut out two circles from felt. Diameter select three centimeters. Eyes of the future horse, too, sew on the hood. Now we proceed to the most difficult part - the ears. From the cardboard we cut out two triangles of the same size. Sew a cloth of the same color as the jacket. Sew ears to it. The last component of the costume is the tail. From the fabric, cut a long rectangle. Sew it along to make a pipe. Insert cotton wool inside. At the tip of the tail, attach a strip of felt with incisions. The horse's costume is made of ordinary clothes. We recommend to decorate the hood with a smile and tongue.

Draw a hole, and then cut out. The second box will be needed to cut out the details for the animal - head and tail, as well as for our rider. Take the pencil. Draw on the side of the box arbitrarily tail and head. You can draw the template yourself and circle it with a pencil. Do not forget about the rider. Draw his legs in trousers and boots. All the prepared parts need to be cut. Now let's start painting our costume. Take gouache and brush. In advance, think out the color scheme. To colorize the details, connect your children, it's more fun to engage in such an exciting activity. When all the details are drawn, let them dry thoroughly so that nothing is smeared.
