Popsicle Stick Minions – Kid Craft Idea

“Bello” my crafty friends!! Who is ready to see the NEW Minion movie being released this weekend? I know we are!

To celebrate the release of “what looks to be” a really good movie – I recently made this fun Popsicle Stick Minions kid craft with my son. And of course – it was a big hit for us and I just had to share it with you all, in hopes it’s a slam dunk in your house too!

So let’s stop “minioning” around and get straight to the simple & inexpensive tutorial – shall we?

Happy crafting and have fun watching the MINION MOVIE {affiliate link on Amazon} my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished craft stick minion creations on our Facebook page when you are done. I can’t wait to see how you give each one it’s own personality! Poopaye! #gluedtomycrafts

Popsicle Stick Minions Craft Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {nine per minion head craft}
* School Glue
* Yellow Craft Paint
* Foam Paint Brush

* Basic, Craft Scissors
* Black/Gray/White Cardstock Paper

Directions:

* First assemble the base of your minions. For each, simply glue your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence.

* Next have your child paint the front of the popsicle stick fences completely yellow.
* Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Now cut out the cardstock embellishments to give the minion pieces life. We did a strip of black, gray circles for the goggles and white/black circles for the eyes. Then we finished with some black hair and a black smirk.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Minions craft, glue on the paper embellishments and let it all dry completely, before displaying proudly!

And in TRUE fashion around here on Glued To My Crafts – here are THREE other kid friendly craft that goes along perfectly with the minion theme!

For the Paper Plate Minion Kid Craft – simply cut up some yellow tissue paper, glue it all over a paper plate and add similar cardstock pieces, like in the craft above, to give it life!

For the Craft Spoon Minions – simply have children paint/decorate the craft spoon and then hot glue a wiggle eye on!

“M” is for Minion, right? So make an M shape out of popsicle sticks on a sheet of cardstock paper and then decorate it to look like the classic character! EASY PEASY!
