This Christmas, we want to make sure your children have some easy, fun, and creative Christmas craft ideas to make at home or in the nursery. We’ve put together a number of how-to guides with different crafts for the festive season, with some resource recommendations to help.

This Christmas craft how-to blog will bring you all the steps you need to create some wooden festive friends using wooden spoons!

What you will need:

• Wooden spoons
• Fabric
• Scissors
• Wiggly eyes
• Pom-poms
• String
• Felt tips
• PVA Glue
• Glue Spreaders

How-to create:

Step 1: Take your spoons and decide which festive characters you want to make. We went with a Santa, an Elf and a Fairy.

Step 2: Cut your fabric up using the scissors into pieces to decorate your spoon characters. Think about the clothes they’d wear, hats, shoes etc.

Step 3: Use the PVA glue and glue spreaders to stick the fabric onto the spoons, and add string, pom poms, or any other decorations to complete their outfits.

Step 4: Add wiggly eyes and use the felt tips to draw a face and you’re done! You may also want to use glitter or try making other characters such as a snow man, or reindeer.
