Poppy the duck

’’Poppy is a common shelduck duckling who loves the nature. He can paddle all
day with his friends. His favorite season is Spring, because this means
blossoming period! What he prefers is running in a field of Poppies, and
sometimes, a flower can stand on his head.’’

BLOCK

It may happens that the petals won’t stay in place. In that case, you can block them. It’s a very
simple trick. You need to pin the petals in order to have the right shape, then spray water on
them and wait until it’s dry.
