Hi Rob
I downloaded the Giraffe and made it for my 6-year old, Christopher. He took it to school for news yesterday (made me go in with him so I could take it safely home straight afterwards). It was a huge hit with the class and he had every hand up for questions after he had spoken and demonstrated. He told them I had made it and you had designed it and even read out your web address for them to write down.
As to instructions, I just copy and paste them to a Word document and save with the model pieces. It is quite easy to print them out into a booklet format using the Advanced Print options.
Anyway, thanks for the Giraffe. Great fun.
Cheerio
