Looking for a simple yet creative activity to do with your children? Spoon Puppets are the perfect solution! Using basic household items like wooden or stainless spoons, you can help your kids bring their favorite characters to life. This craft not only sparks imagination but also helps develop fine motor skills.
What You’ll Need (Supplies)
- Spoons: Wooden spoons or stainless steel spoons.
- Decorations: Colored paper, cloth pieces.
- Tools: Glue, markers.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make It
Step 1: Create the Face Take your marker and draw a face on the round part (the “head”) of the spoon. You can make it happy, silly, or even like a favorite animal!
Step 2: Design the Outfit Use the colored paper to cut out tiny clothes or hats. Apply glue and attach them to the handle or just below the face to dress up your puppet.
Step 3: Add the Finishing Touches For a “lively” look, take small pieces of cloth and stick them on top of the head to create hair. The texture of the cloth adds a wonderful 3D effect to your puppet!
Why Kids Love It
Spoon puppets are fantastic because they are instantly ready for a puppet show! Once the glue dries, your children can spend hours creating stories and performing with their new handmade friends.
