Wooden Spoon Christmas Toy Soldier


Wooden Spoon Toy Soldiers - Kid Craft

Craft Spoon Toy Soldier Puppet For Christmas

Hi friends! It’s that time of the month again! The Kids Craft Stars and I are joining forces to bring you our LAST monthly craft challenge post for the year!!! {throw some confetti because it’s been an exciting year!!!}

Every month this past year, we had a challenge between us bloggers to in-cooperate a different craft medium or theme into a simple kids craft tutorial. This month’s challenge was to use “spoons” in our kid friendly craft idea! With Christmas here, I was inspired to make some toy soldiers out of mine!

So without further ado – today I present to you my Craft Spoon Toy Soldiers Kid Craft tutorial that is not only super simple and really inexpensive BUT it’s a clever way to incorporate some pretend puppet play this winter break!

If you would like to make this adorable wooden craft spoon kid craft with your child today, check out the full tutorial below. Plus there are also links to the other bloggers participating in this challenge, so be sure to click around!

Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your Christmas toy soldiers made from craft spoons on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
