Butterfly Puppet Craft Supplies:

* Wooden Craft Spoons – one per butterfly puppet {affiliate link on Amazon}
* Craft Paint {in various colors!}
* Paint Brushes
* Colorful Cardstock or Scrapbook Paper
* School Glue
* Pencil or Marker
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Small Wiggle Eyes – two per butterfly puppet
optional materials – other embellishments like small bows, rhinestones, glitter etc.

Directions:

* First the fun part! Have children paint their wooden spoons however they like. No real rules on this part – let them have fun!
* Once done, set them all aside to let them dry completely.
* While those are drying, have children trace/cut out their handprint wings for the butterflies {two per butterfly} as well as some antennas from the cardstock paper.
* To finish off the Handprint Wooden Spoon Butterflies – simply glue the handprint cutouts to the back of the wooden spoon to create wings, as well as gluing on the antennas & wiggle eyes.
* Then add other embellishments you see fit {like glitter, rhinestones etc} to finish it off and really give them some flair!
* To display, you can add magnets to the back or hot glue some string for easy hanging!
