I'm planning on making a puppet version of the Elephant-Bird (aka Morton) from Horton Hatches the Egg. The one problem I have is...I have no idea where to start! I was thinking about sculpting foam to make it, but I have no idea how to go about that. We have two Project Puppet patterns (sock puppet and punto), but I wouldn't know how to modify them or make one of my own. (and my mom doesn't want to sew without a pattern). His head and body are pretty much circles, and he needs a small mouth.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do? The best techniques or anything? MANY thanks in advance!
P.S. I made a Little Kangaroo puppet for my school's production of Suessical that I'll be posting pictures of soon [I hope].
P.P.S. Oh, and can anybody help me find good fur for puppet versions of these guys:
