With needle and brown yarn embroider a smile on the monkey’s mouth and two nostrils. Sew mouth to head at center bottom. Sew the eyes atop the mouth and ears atop the head. Using the finished monkey head as a guide, trace around it onto the foam board. Go back, re-tracing the outline 1\4” inside the original line. With a craft knife cut out the shape from the foam board and glue the monkey head to it allowing the edges of the crochet piece to over-lap and cover the cut edges of the foam board.
