These cute little dolls made from wooden spoons can be personalized however you'd like. Use your child's hair color, favorite outfits, and adjust the child to be girl or boy.

Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to create beautiful crafts and homemade cards just for Mom! Treat her to special recipes and bond with printable activities as well.

What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. Take a long piece of yarn and fold it back and forth so that each length touches end to end until you have a small handful. Tie a piece of ribbon in the center. Don't tie it too tight, just enough to gather it together. Tie into a bow, trim ribbon ends, and cut all the looped ends to create the hair. (See photo.)
2. Pipe some glue around the top of the wooden spoon and press the yarn hair onto the "head." (See photo.)
3. Glue on wiggle eyes, a pom-pom for a nose, and use marker to draw on mouth. Use a pink crayon for cheeks and red for Mom's lipstick. (See photos 1, 2)
4. To make a necklace for Mom by stringing some pony beads onto a piece of ribbon. Tie around neck of spoon. (See photo.)
5. To create the dress, fold the corner of a piece of felt down and place spoon (face down) onto the felt, the folded corner will be the dress's neckline. (See photo.)
6. Fold the felt over one side, then fold the other side over. Glue in place. (See photo.)
7. Slide off the spoon and trim the bottom straight to create dress. Slip the spoon back into the felt dress and glue in place. (See photo.)
8. Repeat these steps for the child's spoon as well.
9. Decorate the dresses with pom-poms, buttons, and ribbon.

Tips:

1. To create a quick display can, insert some floral foam inside a clean aluminum can and insert the spoons. Tie a piece of ribbon or felt around the center of the can.
2. Painting the spoons is not necessary but you may do so if you wish.
3. To make a boy spoon, cut short pieces of yarn, no ribbon, and use a straight tube of felt for the clothing.
