These serving spoons will add Thanksgiving fun to any table.

What you will need:

1. Two wooden serving spoons
2. One wooden peg with a slanting bottom for the girl
3. One wooden peg with a straight bottom for the boy
4. White paint

10. Black craft foam
11. Small white piece of fabric

Directions:

1. Begin by painting the pilgrims. You will want to paint the white collars first.
2. Paint the heads next.
3. Allow paint to dry, then paint the rest of the wood black.
4. Use the black marker to draw on eyes and mouths.
5. Let the paint dry, while it is drying cut some of the brown string for hair.
6. Use the hot glue gun to glue the hair onto the two pilgrims. Do not be concerned about what the top of the head will look like since both will have hats that will cover it.
7. Cut a strip out of the black craft foam the right size for the top of a hat.
8. Put the two ends together so that it makes a circle.
9. Use the hot glue gun to glue the two ends together.
10. Cut a circle out of the black craft foam that is slightly larger in diameter than the boy's head.
11. Glue the piece from step nine onto the circle so that it looks like a hat.
12. Glue the hat to the boy's head.
14. Take the white piece of fabric and cut a rectangular piece long enough and wide enough to go to the girl's "shoulders."
15. Glue the fabric to the girl's head to make it look like a bonnet.
16. Use the hot glue gun to glue the pilgrims to the top of the wooden spoons.

*Be sure when washing spoons after use, that you do not wash the pilgrims, they are not made to withstand water, soap or scrubbing.
