Print the Makey template on cardstock and cut only on the solid lines, not the dashed lines.

Folding on the dashed lines, glue together the back and sides of Makey.

With the white side up, fold the white flap down on Makey’s arm and apply glue to it. Fold the red side up and stick it to the glued area.

Pinch the seam of the arms to pop it out and form a tube.

Straighten out a paper clip and then form one end of it into a square hook. Slide the two arms through the side of Makey and push the hook through the arm tabs where they cross.

Draw a 3″×3″ square, and then adjacent to each of its four sides, draw four more 3″×3″ squares, making a large + sign. Cut out around the edges of the outer shape.

Fold the sides together to form a box with an open top. Tape the sides to keep them in place.

Use a paper clip to poke holes through the center of three sides of the box.

Glue or tape Makey to the top of the box with the paper clip coming from Makey’s arms down through the center hole. Push another paper clip through the two side holes and bend off one side so it can’t pull out.

Make a squared U shape inside the box with the paper clip and then bend the paper clip coming down from Makey around it. Make sure that when the “u” is at its lowest point, that Makey’s arms are at their highest.

Bend the clip 90º down and then 90º away from the box to form a crank. Glue the front of Makey on and you’re done.

Turn the handle to make Makey wave his arms.
