Butterfly SpoonsI was inspired by a book that is often read to the kids, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, to make these cute butterfly spoons.

This is a fun and easy project to make. You will trace your hands to resemble the wings of the butterfly and a spoon as the body. Add a touch of paint for the faces and cut scrap paper for the antenna.

These are easy to grip for the kids to play with or use them for telling stories.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Supplies:

  • acrylic paint
  • scissors
  • glue stick
  • paintbrushes
  • spoons
  • scrapbook paper
  • tape
  • hot glue
Butterfly Spoons - supplies
 

Steps:

  1. I like to double side my tape and secure spoon down to the work space to more easily paint with your choice of color. I used the color sour apple as the body of the butterfly.
  2. Butterfly Spoons - roll a piece of tape and stick to the spoon back
     
    Butterfly Spoons - stick down to the work surface
     
    Butterfly Spoons - paint the spoons
     
  3. Allow the spoons to dry and trace hands on scrapbook paper of your choice for the wings. Then cut out.
  4. Butterfly Spoons - trace hands onto scrapbook paper
     
    Butterfly Spoons - cut hands out
     
  5. Using any scrapbook paper you have on hand, freehand and cut out the antennae for the butterfly.
  6. Butterfly Spoons - draw and cut out the antennae

Love this! I shared it on FB with some mommies of little ones. If you want to save time and money, use dollar tree spoons in 5 different colors!!
