Kids will think these wooden spoons magically turned into tiny bugs… and parents will love how simple and fun this activity is. This Spoon Bug Mobile is a colorful craft that keeps little hands busy and creative.

Ingredients: Wooden spoons Paint Paintbrushes Black marker String Colorful beads Small stick Googly eyes Glue

Step 1 Paint each spoon like a bug.
Step 2 Add eyes, wings, stripes, and dots.
Step 3 Thread beads onto string.
Step 4 Tie each bug spoon to the stick and hang it up.

Every child can create their own funny bug family. I’m curious which bug kids would make first.
