Kids Crafts: Make Your Own Doll Out of a Wooden Spoon

My two older daughters went to a girl scout function last weekend and couldn’t wait to show me the craft they made out of things found in a kitchen.

Close your eyes Mom!

Okay.

Guess what we made out of things found in a kitchen?

Hmmm. Paper bag puppet?

No! A wooden spoon doll!

Huh?

Sure enough they made cute little dolls out of wooden spoons and dish towels. Who knew those kitchen items could be used to make such a cute doll!

What You Need to Make Your Own Wooden Spoon Doll:

• Wooden spoon
• Small dish towel
• Yarn
• Scissors
• Glue
• Fabric flowers
• Markers

How to Make Your Own Wooden Spoon Doll:

1. Use markers to draw eyes, nose and a mouth on the rounded side of the wooden spoon.

2. Cut two pieces of yarn the length you want for the doll’s hair.

3. Glue the two pieces of cut yarn to the top edge of the wooden spoon.

4. Twist the small dish towel around the handle of the wooden spoon and secure it by tying another piece of yarn at the top of the dish towel.

5. Insert a small bunch of fabric flowers into the yarn securing the dish towel for the doll’s bouquet.
