How to Make a Wood Spoon Pirate Craft for Kids

Supplies Needed for this Pirate Craft

– wooden party spoon
– black and red cardstock paper (or the colors of your choice)
– small googly eyes
– permanent markers
– white chalk marker (optional)
– tacky glue
– scissors

Directions for this Pirate Wooden Spoon Craft

1. Start by cutting out a pirate bandanna and hat from your cardstock paper. Use tacky glue to glue them onto the end of your spoon. After adding each piece, we held it in place for a good 30 seconds to help adhere it to the spoon.

2. Glue your small googly eyes onto your pirate face. Use your white chalk marker to draw a skull and bones or polka-dots on your pirate hat or bandanna (optional).

3. Finish your pirate craft by using your permanent markers to draw facial details and clothes on your pirates. For the face, we drew on a nose, mouth and some bead stubble. You could also draw a mustache or hair strands coming out from under the bandanna. For the the clothes we simply colored the wood spoon and added some shirt buttons.

I definitely recommend using permanent markers for this craft, as washable markers will tend to come off onto your fingers as you handle your puppets. You could also opt to paint on the clothes to avoid any marker smudges on your fingers.
