Bowtruckle assembly   

Print the sheet to paper or card.
Cut around the coloured Bowtruckle image in a square and fold the image over along the upper leaf edge so that the solid green section becomes the Bowtruckle's backing.
With a glue stick, secure these two sides together and then cut close to the outline.
Laminate and trim again
Use the pointed end as a spear tip and insert it into rolled lengths of playdough.
