Popsicle Stick Fish - Kid Craft Tutorial For Summer

Polka Dot Fish Craft Idea

I’m so excited to finally share this Popsicle Stick Fish kid craft idea. I’ve had the idea written down in my journal for months now, but we finally did the actual craft this past week.

Not only were these fishes SUPER easy to put together but I could also give my son FULL control on how he wanted to decorate them {which he really loved!}

And although today’s fish craft tutorial is geared towards children – that doesn’t mean adults can’t involved in the making. Did I mention that these fishes would make great decorations for a beach themed party?

Now enough chit/chit! Are you ready to learn how to make your own “school” of fish? Let’s grab some supplies and check out the full tutorial below!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished popsicle stick and polka dot fish creations on our Facebook page! I can’t wait to see what colors you choose for your rainbow colored fish! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:

  • For each fish you will need 14 craft sticks. On your work station, lay out 7 sticks next to each other, like you are making a fence.
  • Cover 3/4 of the way of your laid out craft sticks in glue.
  • Take the other seven popsicle sticks and lay them in the other direction, on top of the glue.
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • When ready – decorate your fish anyway you like. I did a WHOLE BUNCH of polka dots with paint dabbers on mine. Feel free to change yours up!
  • Next up – glue on a wiggle eye and a “heart” paper cutout for the fishes lips.
  • Let everything dry before displaying your popsicle stick fish proudly for ALL to see!
