NORWAY: Cork Trolls

Epcot Fun Stop crafts from FamilyFun

Ancient Norwegians believed that trolls with magical powers lurked among the country's fjords and forests.

Our simple cork troll also proved magical at the Norway Kidcot Fun Stop, where kids from around the world made it a runaway favorite. "Kids can relate to trolls," explains manager Scott Pitts, "since most have heard or read the fable 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff.'"

To make ours, glue one cork on top of the other, as shown, then glue on hair, clothes and features using the materials listed below. To make the hats, apply glue around the top 1/2 inch of the cork, then wrap a 1/2-inch edge of crepe paper around the glued area and gently twist the opposite end. Finally, glue a pompon on top.

MATERIALS

2 corks
Glue
Fun fur for hair
Felt, cloth or crepe paper for clothing
Yarn or string for belts
4 to 5 pompons for nose, hands and feet
2 googly eyes
Small bow-tie pasta for ears
Crepe paper for hat
