Leprechaun Puppet Craft Supplies:

* Wooden Craft Spoons – one per leprechaun puppet {affiliate link on Amazon}
* Green/Orange/Black Sharpies {or craft paint & paint brushes}
* Green Colored Cardstock Paper
* School Glue
* Basic Craft Scissors
optional materials – other embellishments like small bows, rhinestones, glitter etc.

Directions:

* First the fun part! Have children draw {or paint} their wooden spoon however they like. I went with a green body, orange beard and black facial features.
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
* While children are working on that – cut out a simple green hat from the cardstock.
* To finish off the Wooden Spoon Leprechaun – simply glue the paper hat to the wooden spoon and add other embellishments you see fit {like glitter, rhinestones etc.}
* To display, you can add magnets to the back, stick it in a flower pot or hot glue some string for easy hanging!
