The Journal of Joshua Loper Book Craft

The Journal of Joshua Loper  is the story of a 16 year old Black cowboy on his cattle herding journey along the Chisholm Trail in 1871. This is the first boo selection in the “Boys & Books” book club in Brooklyn, NYC hosted by the @DonaldsonBrothers and attended by The Mommy Factor & @MeetTheCurlys . The boys had a great discussion about what life was like in the 1800s and some of the life lessons Joshua learned on his journey. Then they crated their own wooden spoon bookmark crafts based on the book.

Cowboy Wooden Spoon Bookmark Craft

  • Materials:
  • wooden spoon
  • Crayola multi-cultural crayons
  • brown felt
  • black bandana
  • scissors
  • Sharpie black marker
  • glue stick
  • googly eyes
  1. Choose one of the Crayola Multicultural crayons to color the curved side of a wooden spoon then glue your googly eyes.

2. Trace and cut out a cowboy hat shape using the brown felt. Cut out a small triangle using the black bandana.

3. Glue the felt hat on the top of the spoon and glue the bandana across the bottom half of the spoon covering where the “mouth” would be.
