I use this website as a starting place:

It is for clay, but awesome. I find it easier to attach figures with icing rather than toothpicks though, because kids want to eat them and don't have the patience for that!

Thanks for your instructions on making animals. Do you have a sketch for a giraffe? I was thinking I'll have to use dowels for the legs??

I have frog and giraffe tutorials up on my web site. The giraffe may need work -- my DH says it looks like a yellow horse. So it could be a yellow horse tutorial, ,lol.
