Superheroes Puppets Made From Popsicle Sticks
It’s seems like I’ve been on a popsicle stick kid craft kick lately on the Glued To My Crafts blog.
But in all honesty, once I start with one craft idea, the creativity juices get going and BAM! 20 popsicle stick kid crafts are ready to go.
It’s seriously amazing how many things you can make out of those inexpensive wood pieces {more of a reason to really invest in a huge pack of them!}
Take for example, today’s Popsicle Stick Superheroes tutorial. We really didn’t do anything too special to the sticks themselves BUT the end result turned out pretty cool. PLUS this is a great craft for those crime fighting boys in your life, to get involved with since superheroes are the “thing” right now!
So what are you waiting for? Grab your capes and craft supplies & get to work on crafting up these SUPERHEROES today! You can find ALL the details you need to know, in the full tutorial below! Happy crafting and fighting crime with your children, of course!!!

Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – one per superhero puppet
- Craft Paint {in various colors!}
- Small Paper Plate
- Small Paint Brushes
- Sharpie Markers
- Colored Cardstock Paper
- Small Wiggle Eyes – two per superhero puppet
- School Glue
- Craft Scissors
Instructions:
- First have children paint their jumbo popsicle stick, for the superhero suit, however they like! Simply squirt some craft paint on the paper plate and hand over the paint brush {don’t forget to encourage them to add an “S” to the center for superhero!}
- While they are working on that – cut out some large triangles from the cardstock for the capes and a small rectangle for the masks.
- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Superheroes – simply glue the “cape” to the back of the craft stick and add on the mask on the front, as well with some wiggle eyes eyes & draw on a mouth with a black Sharpie marker.
- Then add other embellishments you see fit {maybe some glitter glue, small rhinestones etc}
- Finally – let it all dry completely before you play with them proudly!
A FEW DIFFERENT IDEAS – your finished popsicle stick puppets can be turned into Christmas ornaments or even bookmarks! For the ornaments just hot glue string to the back side for easy hanging. As for the bookmarks, just slide in the book as is!
