Wooden Spoon Ant Puppet - Kid Craft Idea

Unleash your creativity and make something amazing! This wooden spoon ant craft is an awesome way to get creative with the kids and have some fun.

Today’s kid friendly craft post is titled Spoon Ant Puppet. It’s super clever and straight to the point.

My intention is that you recreate it with your child AND THEN have some fun pretend puppet play in the living room afterwards!

And why do I call it Wooden Spoon Ant Puppet? Well… because our new ant friend is made out of inexpensive wooden spoons!

Again, clever. Right? I promise I will come up with more creative names for our crafts in the future. Until then, bare with me as I navigate through this life as a blogger!

This fun ant puppet craft is easy and perfect for kids! All you need is a wooden spoon, some paint, and googly eyes.

Craft Supplies:

Wooden or Plastic Spoons – 1 per craft
Black Craft Paint
Foam Paint Brush
Small Paper Plate
Small Wiggle Eyes
Low Temp Hot Glue Gun
Black Pipe Cleaners

Directions:

First things first, you will want to paint your spoon completely black. Simply squirt some paint on a small paper plate and hand over the spoon.
When your child is done painting, set aside the spoon to let it dry completely.
Once dry, give your ant the power to see. Using the hot glue gun, glue some wiggle eyes on, on the larger portion of the spoon.
As for your final step, you are going to take your three pipe cleaners & wrap them around the center handle portion of the ant. Use your hands to bend them to make them look like legs.
Now play with and display your ant friend made from a spoon proudly for ALL to see!
