HOW TO MAKE A WOODEN SPOON LION CRAFT
Supplies:
- wooden spoons
- yellow cardstock paper
- small googly eyes
- brown and orange marker
- pencil
- scissors
- tacky glue
Directions:
1. 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. 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. Bend the yellow circle in half and make a cut between your two pencil marks.
4. Make small slits all along the outside of your yellow circle. Bend some of the slits up so it looks like lion hair.
5. 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. 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.
The long spoon makes it a perfect little puppet. Try coupling this craft with a fun children’s book like Library Lion by Michelle Knudsen or Tawny Scrawny Lion by Kathryn Jackson.
