Perry the Platypus is every kid's favourite character from Phineas and Ferb. He's a semi-aquatic, egg laying mammal of action. This is a pipe cleaner artistic recreation of Perry the Platypus. A perfect crafts project for crafty kid of any age!

Step 1: BoM

Pipe Cleaner
Skewer
Googly Eyes

Tools:

Scissors
Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue

Step 2: Shape the Body

We want a long slender body for Perry or 'Agent P.'

Wrap around the first pipe cleaner close to the pointy end of the skewer, leaving a bit of it for the right leg. Once it gets short, wrap it such that you form a left arm with the left over pipe cleaner. Don't worry if it's too long, because we can always cut it short.
Wrap a second pipe cleaner around the first one to form the slender body. Again, like the first step leave a bit int he beginning to form a left leg. Then once it gets short begin moving towards the left arm, forming a nose as you get to the narrow and pointy end of the skewer and leaving a left arm with the left over pipe cleaner.
Cut off the excess legs.

Step 3: Add the Beak

Cut a small size of orange pipe cleaner about the size of the body.
Wrap it around the head once and form a beak with the excess length.

Step 4: Cover the Beak

Since Perry the Platypus does not have an orange head, we need to cover the wrap-around with some green.

Cut a small piece of green pipe cleaner and wrap it around the head to cover the orange.

Step 5: Form the Tail

Cut a long piece of pipe cleaner about 1.5 times the body length.
Wrap this piece around the body twice and form the excess into a long slender tail. Then, fold it in half to make it twice as thick.

Step 6: Glue the Eyes

Pull the platypus out of the skewer, it should slide right off. And squish it to form it to more of a platypus-like body shape.
Add a bead of hot glue to the eye area of the platypus. The eyes are meant to be disproportionately large.
Make sure that the eyes are out of focus, since Perry's eyes as Perry the Platypus and not 'Agent P' are always out of focus.

Step 7: Decorate With Some 'Branches'

Twist a couple of pipe cleaners and form some branches with the ends of the pipe cleaners
Fold it in half for more branches.
Place Perry over it and bend the legs slightly.
