Turn an ordinary wood craft spoon into a one-of-a-kind friend! Then use your newly created Wooden Spoon Leprechaun as St. Patrick’s Day Decor, a festive touch in Dirt Pudding OR have an afternoon of puppet play with him!

Whatever you decide to do with your finished masterpieces, I hope you enjoy making them! Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Wooden Craft Spoons {affiliate link}
* Green/Orange/Black Sharpies {or craft paint & paint brushes}
* Green Cardstock
* Glue
* Scissors
optional – 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!
