of the part to be attached
there.Use a spatula for
the small glue tabs.
1. Use a set square or
ruler and a dried up pen
to score along the dotted
lines, and fold along
them to make creases.
2. Work curves into the
pieces using a metal
rod before beginning
assembly. For small
pieces, add curves before
cutting them out.
Cut out
Cut these areas out.
*Read the Assembly Instructions carefully in page order referring to the page numbers on the parts list.

Bottlenose dolphins are the most well-known type of dolphins. They
live in seas all over the world except those around the Arctic and
Antarctic Circles. They are 2-4 meters long and weigh between 150
and 650 kilograms.
Although they are rather small among marine mammals, they are
outstanding jumpers with great braking force. These master swimmers
can swim approximately 45 kilometers per hour in short bursts.
They are friendly and curious creatures who are thought to
communicate among themselves by letting out various sounds or
through body expressions.
*Red numbers are numbers of each respective part. Gray numbers are numbers of parts to be attached to red parts.
