Pretend Play Airplanes Made From Craft Sticks
Do you remember awhile back when I shared our Disney Planes Dusty craft tutorial on our website?
Well, my little boy still has an obsession with the movie and anything that flies – so in true fashion around here, we recently did another planes themed kid craft but this time using popsicle sticks as our craft medium.
Popsicle sticks are fairly easy to find, inexpensive and even come in fun colors & different shapes/sizes. After playing around with my own popsicle stick stash, I instantly pictured these awesome airplanes made out of them. Next thing you know, wham bam this blog post was born!
If you are looking for a budget-friendly and fun boy themed craft activity – this Popsicle Stick Airplane craft tutorial is the one to do today! Not only is it easy to pull together, but kids {and even adults} can also customize them however they like, with supplies you probably already have on hand.
So without further ado – inspire young creative minds and encourage some fun family time with our small-scale project today! Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished wood craft stick airplanes on our Facebook page wall to admire from afar! #gluedtomycrafts
