Bobs  Lolo Wooden Spoon Puppets | Mama Papa Bubba

It’s no secret that we’re big music lovers in our house…  If we’re at home, it can pretty much be guaranteed that there’s some sort of music on.  Sometimes it’s the radio, sometimes it’s ‘adult’ music, and sometimes it’s kids’ music – so long as it’s not the ‘drive mama crazy’ variety.  ☺

A SIMPLE Puppet Theatre

6 / 20 / 136 / 23 / 13

DIY Puppet Theatre Using Ikea s SKYLTA Children s Market Stand | Mama Papa BubbaWith our fruit and veggie market being a huge hit for a solid week or so, today we decided to switch things up a little.  Given a few options, Miss G confidently chose to convert our cardboard market stand into a simple puppet theatre this time around.

IMG 9252And when I say simple, I mean simple!  Because our designated market builder seemed to miss a couple of steps in the process (*ahem* not me!) we have a couple of open slots near the top of the stand that were perfect for slipping a lightweight cotton scarf through to give the feel of a curtain.  If we would have had a long, thin dowel, I would have attempted to fashion a working curtain, but no such luck.  Of course, Miss G doesn’t seem to mind in the least.

IMG 9268The other small step we took to transform our market stand into a puppet theatre is to create a super simple welcome sign.  We simply slid it into the poster holder in front of the fruit and veggie shop one and we were good to go.

IMG 9263All that was left was retrieving a few puppets, and luckily, Miss G had that covered.

IMG 9264These guys were up for some exercise and ended up jumping and ‘practicing falling’.

IMG 9288IMG 9290After playing with her traditional puppets a while, she pulled out her homemade wooden spoon puppets to switch things up a little.  They talked about their favourite colours, decided to go to the park, and ended up finishing the play date with a kiss! ☺

So far, this little cardboard market has brought about a ton of fun and I know there’s a lot more in store!

Wooden Spoon Puppet People

4 / 8 / 134 / 11 / 13

Wooden Spoon Puppet PeopleLast spring, I bought a multi-pack of wooden spoons in order to make a bird feeder similar to this one.  While we don’t buy bottled water (or any kind of individually bottled beverage for that matter), I thought a plastic bottle of some sort would eventually make its way into our recycling bin… Well, it hasn’t.  Not yet at least.  And while I could go digging through my neighbours’ bins on trash day, I decided we’d switch things up a little and finally put our wooden spoons to good use with this fun little project.

IMG 7737To get us started, I put out some coloured Sharpies, some felt strips, ribbon pieces, pieces of yarn, googly eyes, sequins, buttons, gems, some glitter glue, and some craft glue.

IMG 7741We started off by attaching some googly eyes to the back of our spoons with craft glue, and then I encouraged Gracen to add the other details as she pleased.

Wooden Spoon Puppet PeopleHere’s her first puppet person.

IMG 7747IMG 7753After creating a few girls, it was time to create a boy.  She asked me to cut out some ‘Papa hair’, a moustache, and tie for him, and then put him together, adding buttons down his front because ‘that’s how Papa’s shirts are for work’.

IMG 7756Here’s our completed wooden spoon puppet people family…  From left to right, Daddy, Dah-fat, Fadeen, and my personal favourite, Fafee Cacus. (Oh, the names things are given right now…)

Puppet talkLater on, once dry, Gracen disappeared into her room with the puppets and I found her acting out a playground scene and making the mommy and daddy puppets kiss. ☺
