Supplies you will need:
- wooden spoons
- yellow cardstock paper
- small googly eyes
- brown and orange marker
- pencil
- scissors
- tacky glue
Step-by-step guide:
1. Make a circle
Start by cutting a circle out of your yellow cardstock paper about 3 1/4-inches. We traced an empty fruit cup for our circle.
2. Mark the circle
Place your spoon face down on the center of the yellow circle. Make small marks on the sides of the spoon so you know where to place your cut to pull your spoon through.
3. Make a cut for a spoon
Bend the yellow circle in half and make a cut between your two pencil marks.
4. Do slits along the circle
Make small slits all along the outside of your yellow circle. Bend some of the slits up so it looks like lion hair.
5. Time to decorate the face
Glue your googly eyes onto the back of your wooden spoon. Then use your brown and orange marker to draw a nose, mouth and whiskers.
6. Finish with adding the spoon
Slide your spoon down into the slit in your yellow circle. Place a small amount of tacky glue at the top of the spoon so it will attach to the yellow circle. Let the glue dry.
And you are all done! The long spoon makes it a perfect little puppet. Your kids will love it.
