SPOON FACED PUPPETS



Wooden Spoon Faced Puppets

Supplies


 Wooden spoons
Nonbleeding markers (Woodcraft brand works well)
Pipe cleaners
Glue
Rubber bands
Fabric scraps
Ribbon

Instructions
 
1.  Use the markers to draw facial features on the front and back of a wooden spoon. For fun, give each face a different expression (such as happy, surprised, sleepy).

2.  Add hair by bending a pipe cleaner around the edge of the bowl and gluing it in place. Stretch rubber bands around the spoon to hold the hair until the glue dries.
 
3.  To dress the puppet, loosely wrap a piece of material around the spoon handle. Then, gather the cloth at the base of the bowl and tie a ribbon around the cloth to secure the dress at the neck.
