If you want you can sew legs and hands or you can make them movable.
Below is an instruction on how to make legs and arms movable.

Mark the center of the face, the centers of the level of the legs and hands.
Insert the needle on the back at the level of legs and pull out to the nearest mark,
stretch through the leg, stretch through the body, stretch through the other leg, stretch
through the body. Pul out the thread. Do it again. Pull the thread to the place where the
needle was inserted, fasten the thread, hide the end.
