Scoop Stick Leaf Elves Craft Supplies:
* Wooden Scoop Sticks
* Plastic Leaves {Dollar Tree is great for them!}
* School Glue
* Scissors
* Colorful Cardstock
* Paint Pens {or craft paint & paint brushes}
optional – rhinestones, glitter, glitter glue
Directions:
* First have children grab the paint pens and draw on a face, hair or anything else they like on their wooden scoop stick.
* Now grab your colored cardstock. Cut out a small triangular hat for each scoop stick elf you want to make.
* To finish off the Clothespin Leaf Fairies – glue on a plastic decor leaf to the center of the scoop stick {this is the elf’s outfit} along with the cardstock hats. At this point, children can also add even more embellishments {like scrapbook stickers, glitter, rhinestones} that they see fit to really make it their own. Remember – you can also add some long yarn or cardstock hair too! Once finished, let it dry completely and display proudly!
