Bird Puppet Craft Supplies:

* Wooden Craft Spoons – one per bird puppet {affiliate link}
* Craft Paint {any color you like!}
* Paint Brushes
* Large Cupcake Liners – one per bird puppet
* Orange Colored Cardstock
* Small Wiggle Eyes – two per bird puppet
* School Glue
* Paper Craft Scissors
optional – other embellishments like ribbon, rhinestones, glitter etc.

Directions:

* First have children paint their wooden craft spoons however they like. Birds come in all colors so let your child go wild on this one!
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
* While they are working on that – grab a cupcake liner and flatten/fold it in half with your hands, to create the wings of the bird.
* At this point in time you should also cut out a small triangular beak from the orange cardstock for your bird.
* To finish off the Wooden Craft Spoon Bird – simply glue the flattened cupcake liner in place, as well as the cardstock nose. Follow that up by gluing on the wiggle eyes as well.
* Then add other embellishments you see fit {like glitter, rhinestones etc}
* To display, you can add magnets to the back or hot glue some string for easy hanging!
