Butterfly Puppet with a Wooden Spoon

To make a butterfly puppet, you will need:

- a large wooden spoon

- a piece of thick black cardstock in A4 size (300 g/m²)

- 2 movable eyes Ø 2.5 cm

- a colored chenille measuring 30 cm

- a colored pom-pom

- glittery masking tape

- POSCA markers

- double-sided adhesive foam

- a pair of scissors

- a precision cutter

Draw the butterfly wings on a sturdy black card and then cut them out with a pair of scissors.

Make 2 parallel notches of about 3 cm at the center of the butterfly. These will hold the wooden spoon in place.

Decorate the butterfly wings using POSCA markers.

Highly opaque, the paint in POSCA markers will allow you to achieve beautiful colored contrasts on the black card.

Slide the wooden spoon into the slot located in the center of the wings.

Using double-sided adhesive foam, stick 2 movable eyes with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a pompom on the head of the spoon.

With a black POSCA marker, draw the butterfly's mouth.

To create the butterfly antennas, cut a 30 cm chenille into 2 pieces and then glue them to the back of the spoon using double-sided adhesive foam.

For a lovely decoration, stick pieces of glitter masking tape onto the handle of the spoon.

And here is a lovely puppet that will bring joy to children!
