Leprechaun Puppet Craft Supplies:

* Wooden Flat Pins/Clothespins – one per leprechaun puppet
* Green Sharpie Marker
* Orange Sharpie Marker
* Black Sharpie Marker
* Black Cardstock
* Gold Cardstock
* Thick School Glue
* Paper Craft Scissors
optional – other embellishments like small stickers, rhinestones, glitter etc.

Directions:

* First the fun part! Have children draw {or paint} their wooden spoon however they like. We went with a green body in the center, finished off with black boots on the tips and orange beards in the center.
* While children are working on that – cut out a simple black hat from the cardstock and a belt from the gold.
* To finish off the Wooden Spoon Leprechaun – simply glue the paper hat to the wooden spoon, as well as the belt to the center.
* Then add other embellishments you see fit {like glitter, rhinestones etc}
* To display, you can add magnets to the back, stick it in a flower pot or hot glue some string for easy hanging!
