Method

Line a tray with parchment. Insert a food-safe paper lollipop stick into each marshmallow. Melt the green candy coating according to its package directions.
Dip each marshmallow, allow excess coating to drip away and stand upright in a food-safe pop stand. Attach two candy eyes near the upper front. Chill for 10 minutes.
Melt the semisweet chocolate in short microwave bursts, stirring each time. Dip the top of each coated marshmallow into the chocolate, then into the sprinkles for hair.
Use the remaining melted chocolate in a fine piping bag to add a mouth and one small scar to each face. Chill for 10 minutes until set. Remove sticks before serving to very young children.

Set up the upright stand before dipping

Make sure the food-safe stand can hold all twelve pops securely before melting the green coating. Insert the food-safe paper sticks and arrange the tray so drips are manageable. Let excess coating fall back into its bowl before standing each marshmallow upright, then attach the eyes while the green surface can hold them.

Keep the first chilling stage before the chocolate hair. Dip just the top, add sprinkles there, then use the remaining chocolate for a simple mouth and scar. Let the final decoration set before moving the pops. Choose this activity for eaters who can manage its marshmallow and small candy pieces; removing a stick alone does not make every decoration appropriate for very young children.
