- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks

Directions:
Now that you have all your materials, let’s get into the step-by-step process of creating your popsicle stick science beaker. Follow these steps carefully, and you’ll have a fantastic Halloween decoration in no time!
- First things first – glue your three popsicle sticks together to look like a triangle.
- Set aside to let it dry completely.
- Once dry, go ahead and trace the popsicle stick design on some colored cardstock paper, to make the potion/inner part of the beaker {trim it down slightly to be a smaller triangle than your popsicle sticks}
- Set aside.
- Now it’s time for the painting! Have children paint the popsicle sticks completely silver.
- Grab the cardstock paper cutout and glue it onto the triangular design.
- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Halloween Beaker – cut a slight lip out of the gray cardstock and glue it to the top point of the popsicle stick beaker.
- Then punch out a skull & bones shape from the white cardstock and glue that to the inside of the beaker.
- Now display proudly for all to see!
