Wooden Spoon Puppets

What you need:

• wooden spoons (in various sizes and colors)
• decorations, including felt, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, drink umbrellas, yarn, and so on
• fabric glue

What to do:

1. To ensure materials stick well, wash and dry the spoons first.
2. Invite your child to transform a wooden spoon into a favorite character.
3. Cut out shapes from felt and glue them to the spoons with fabric glue.
4. Re-create our blue-haired friend by using the back of the spoon for the face, pipe cleaners for arms, yarn for hair, felt for the poncho, and a drink umbrella for the parasol.
5. Then craft some more spoon pals, and make up a story for them to perform.
