How to Make a Toy Pac-Man

The first release of the arcade game Pac-Man was in Japan in 1979. Midway put the game on the market in the United States in the early 1980s and Pac-Man is now a household name. You can use the steps below to create an inexpensive toy Pac-Man for the little fan in your household.

Things You'll Need

Styrofoam ball
Serrated knife
Paint--yellow and black
Toothpick

Instructions

- 1
  Examine images of the original Pac-Man before you proceed.
- 2
  Cut a wedge out of one side of the Styrofoam ball, using a serrated knife, to create Pac-Man's mouth. Based upon images of the original Pac-Man, make the mouth proportionate to the face; it consist of approximately one-third of the overall body.
- 3
  Paint the Styrofoam ball yellow to match Pac-Man's signature color. Be sure to cover the ball thoroughly, and allow the paint to dry before proceeding to the next step.
- 4
  Break a large toothpick in half and place each half next to each other at the bottom of the Styrofoam ball to create legs, if you wish.
- 5
  Add eyes with black paint, if you so choose. Place the eyes symmetrically above the mouth.
