Popsicle Stick Fruit Craft Supplies:

* Wooden Popsicle Sticks {regular & mini size}
* School Glue
* Various Colors of Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Small Paper Plate

* Colored Cardstock Paper
* Pen or Marker

Directions:

These directions will give you a popsicle stick pineapple, strawberry, blueberry, orange and apple. Don’t feel limited by our tutorial. I highly encourage you to build off of our ideas!

* First assemble the base of your fruit. Although we did several different fruits – they all had the same basic frame. For each, simply glue your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence. Set aside to let it dry completely.

* Next have your child paint the front of the popsicle stick fences for their desired fruit.

• For The Strawberry – Red w/black dots
• For The Blueberry – Blue
• For The Orange – Orange
• For The Pineapple – Yellow w/black dots
• For The Apple – Red or Green

* Now cut out the cardstock embellishments to give your pieces life.

• For The Strawberry – Some small green leaves
• For The Blueberry – Brown cardstock for the stem
• For The Orange – Brown stem and green leaf
• For The Pineapple – Trace your child’s hand on green cardstock for the pineapple top
• For The Apple – Brown stem and green leaf

* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Fruit craft, glue on the paper embellishments and let it all dry completely, before displaying proudly by either hanging them or adding magnets to the back!
