PAIR YOUR SPOON PUPPETS WITH —> Adorable Wooden Spoon Bunnies

Using just a few items like craft spoons, paper, markers and more, you can make these adorable puppets that will help teach about seasons, colors and nature – not to mention inspire creativity in the process!

Craft Supplies:

  • Wooden Craft Spoons – one per puppet
  • Paint Pens
  • Thin-Tipped Sharpie Markers {pink & black}
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Scissors
  • Pipe Cleaners – one per puppet

Directions:

  • First things first – paint the “handle” of your wooden spoon, any color you like. This is now your “friend’s” body.
  • Next up – use thin tipped markers to draw on a face on the larger end of the now painted spoon.
  • Grab your pieces of cardstock paper and your scissors.
  • Cut out a half circle shape, that will become the hat for your puppet.
  • Now get the glue gun hot and ready & hot glue the hat piece in place, on the spoon.
  • The last step is trim down the pipe cleaner and “twist” it around the neck of the puppet, to create a scarf.
  • Finally add other embellishments you see fit, while bringing your pieces to life!!
