I once made a scrab using pipe cleaners as the skeleton, padding it out with cotton wool and then weaving the correctly coloured wool around that. It was poseable! The proportions were off in the end, but it was pretty good for a ten-year-old's work. I made a paramite skeleton for my younger brother to do, but his didn't turn out so well, but considering he was eight it was good. I've still got an unfinished flying slig somewhere.
