thread through the head in the place where the
eye should be located, and we stretch it back
through the adjacent hole. Tie the threads, hide
them. With this tightening, the head will
become flatter and take the shape of a cookie.
Do not overtighten.

with white thread as shown on photo below.
Tone the toy with pastel crayons if needed.
