I used a no. 20 white thread on Wsh1 for the chains of the body with a cream for the chains on Wsh2.  A small amount of blue or pink is needed for the sling and a non variegated pink for the baby.  Also needed – one large bead for the eye of the stork and a small blue bead for the baby’s eye.  2 shuttles.
