The fall stuff is starting to hit store shelves already and that’s exactly what inspired today’s Scoop Stick Leaf Elves kid craft idea!

With inexpensive supplies and easy steps to follow, this DIY idea is super fun for the autumn season and completely customizable too! Use them for pretend play or decorations – the choice is yours!

So let’s throw some magical dust in the air and grab our craft supplies! With fall being my FAVORITE holiday on the blog – expect tons of craft ideas coming your way soon! Till then – I hope you enjoy this simple “elf” themed craft idea that is not only perfect for little kids but adults too! Happy crafting my friends!!!

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!
