There Was An Old Lady Book Craft For Kids

Hi my crafty readers! In honor of the back-to-school season, I recently came up with a kid friendly craft that goes along PERFECTLY with the book “There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Book” by Lucille Colandro. This time I’m calling it Popsicle Stick Books and I hope you are inspired to repeat them today!

“There was an old lady who’s ready for school!

That lovely old lady has returned just in time for the first day of school. Now she’s swallowing items to make the very best of her first day back. And just in time for the bus…

With rhyming text and funny illustrations, this lively version of the classic song will appeal to young readers with every turn of the page–a fun story for the first day of school!”

So what are you waiting for? Create some excitement for the first day of school by pulling out those simple craft supplies and crafting these Wood Craft Stick Books up with your child today!

Happy crafting {and reading} my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your pretend books made from popsicle sticks, with us on our Facebook page to admire! #gluedtomycrafts

Popsicle Stick Books - There Was An Old Lady Inspired Craft

In honor of the back-to-school season, our Popsicle Stick Books craft idea goes perfectly with “There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Book.”

Craft Supplies:

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
  • Craft Paint
  • School Glue
  • Scrapbook Letter Stickers
  • Foam Paint Brushes
  • Small Paper Plate

Directions:

  • For each book you will need nine popsicle sticks. Lay out seven popsicle sticks next to each other, in a row.
  • Take the two remaining popsicle sticks and glue them the opposite direction on one side, for the “binding” of the book.
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Now you are ready for the customization. Let kids go crazy with the colors and have them paint their “books” however they like.
  • Once done, let it aside again to let it dry completely.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Books – have children add some letter scrapbook stickers to the front, to title their books.
  • Then display proudly for all to see!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
