Craft Supplies:

  • Wooden Craft Spoons
  • School Glue
  • Red Craft Felt
  • Green Craft Felt
  • Red & Green Craft Glitter
  • Black Sharpie Marker
  • Red Sharpie Marker
  • Craft Scissors

Directions:

  • First have children add glitter on the stick of the wooden spoon, to create the body/tail of the mermaid. I did mostly green, then a little bit of red for the “bra” of the mermaid. This is done by drawing on some glue on the wood, then shaking glitter on top until completely covered.
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Now grab your two colors of craft felt.
  • Cut out some red hair and green fins for the tail.
  • To finish off the Wooden Spoon Mermaids – have children draw/add embellishments to the round section of the spoon, to give the mermaid life.
  • Then glue on the felt pieces to complete it.
  • Follow up with other embellishments you see fit. The possibilities are endless on this step!
  • Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying/playing with proudly!!!

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
