Popsicle Stick Santa & Elf Hats - Kid Craft

Popsicle Stick Santa & Elf Hats

These adorable Popsicle Stick Santa and Elf Hats are perfect for the holidays! They’re easy to make and kids will love them.

Craft Supplies:

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 3 per hat craft
  • School Glue
  • Red/Green Craft Paint
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Red/Green Scrapbook Paper
  • Skin Tone Cardstock
  • Kid Friendly Scissors
  • White Cotton Balls

Directions:

  • First things first – grab your three jumbo popsicle sticks and glue them together to look like a triangle.
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Repeat for each popsicle stick Santa hat or elf hat you want to make today.
  • Now grab your small paper plate, craft paint and foam paint brushes.
  • Squirt the paint on the paper plate.
  • Paint your popsicle stick triangle shape completely red for a Santa hat or green for an elf hat.
  • Set it aside again, to allow the paint to dry completely.
  • While that is drying, grab your choice of color in scrapbook paper and scissors.
  • Cut out a simple triangle shape, to make the inner part of the hat {trim it down slightly to be a smaller triangle than your popsicle sticks}
  • If you are making an elf hat, don’t forget to cut out some large, pointy ears from the skin tone paper.
  • Once the paint is dry enough on the popsicle stick shape, grab the scrapbook paper cutout {and elf ears} and glue it onto the back of the painted popsicle stick triangle.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Santa and Elf Hats – have children decorate their hats however they like but most importantly add a rim of cotton balls, as well as one on top to finish it off.
  • You can also get the glitter out, rhinestones and even some feathers for a festive holiday party look!
  • Once everything is glued down, set aside to let it ALL dry completely before displaying proudly!
  • Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished creations, on your various social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

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!
