Instructions:
Gather all supplies.

Paint the bottom of the Lamb with white craft paint.
Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
Download and print the wooden spoon patterns. Cut out the patterns with scissors.
For the Bunny trace two outer ears on white felt, trace two inner ears and one nose on pink felt. (You can use craft foam instead of craft felt if you prefer.)
For the Chick trace one beak and one head feather rectangle onto orange felt or craft foam.
For the Lamb trace two ears on gray felt, one nose on black felt, and one wooly hair on white felt.
Cut out all patterns with scissors, making sure to cut inside the traced lines for a clean, finished project.
Fringe the orange rectangle with scissors, then fold it in thirds and secure with glue.
Attach two wiggle eyes to each wooden spoon with a glue gun and glue sticks.
Create their cheeks by dipping a sponge dabber into pink craft paint.
Attach the noses and beak just under the wiggle eyes with a glue gun and glue sticks.
For the Bunny, glue the pink inner ear to the white outer ear and attach to the top back of the wooden spoon.
For the Chick, attach the orange head feather to the top back of the wooden spoon.
For the Lamb, glue the gray ears to the right and left side of the front of the wooden spoon, and then attach the wooly hair over top of the ears.
**TIP: You can us liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
Attach three one inch lengths of black embroidery floss to the right and left side of the Bunny’s nose for the whiskers. Trim any long ends with scissors.
Using a permanent black marker, draw two straight lines from the nose down on the Lamb and the Bunny, for their mouths.
Add two dots to the top center of the Chick’s beak.
Tie gingham ribbons in bows, and attach to the neck of the Bunny, Chick, and Lamb securing with a dot of glue.
Cut a notch from the ends of the ribbons to pre vent fraying.
To finish, attach two colored buttons to the handle of each wooden spoon with a glue gun and glue sticks.
Change up the colors and embellishments on the wooden spoons to create a variety of Spring animal or farm animal buddies to share with family and friends.
Such a great craft project for tweens and teens to create on their own or with younger kids!
