This is cute! This will keep bored minds busy for a while and I love that kids can use their creativity in this craft!

I love it when a good old-fashioned project from my elementary school days can withstand the test of time ~~ a REALLY, REALLY long time!

You'll Need:
Kitchen utensils; spatulas, wooden spoons, cheese grater etc.
Large sheets of cardstock or construction paper.
Pencil
Scissors
Glue stick or glue dots
An assortment of craft ?stuff? ; paper scraps, buttons, feathers,
pom-poms, ribbon etc.
If you don?t have craft supplies it?s okay?
markers, paper and glue will do just fine!



How to Make It
Using a pencil, trace the utensil shape onto the paper. Using a marker will likely leave an outline on the edges of your utensil. Cut the shape and provide your children with the supplies. Their imaginations will do the rest; add eyes, ears, hair or clothes to make animals, aliens, super heroes ?whatever inspires them!
Variation ? Transform your characters into puppets by using stiff cardboard, or attach a paint stirrer to the handles.
