Craft Supplies:
- Wavy Popsicle Sticks – 1 per craft
- Craft Paint
- Paint Brushes
- Small Paper Plate
- Tacky Glue or Hot Glue Gun
- Small Pom Poms
- Small Wiggle Eyes
- Assorted Craft Feathers
- Pipe Cleaners
- Sharpie Markers
Directions:
- First things first – pull out your wavy craft stick and paint supplies.
- Squirt the paint on the paper plate.
- Use the paint brush to paint the wavy stick however you like!
- When done, set aside the painting materials.
- Now grab the other embellishments. Turn on the glue gun if you are working for that.
- Have your child pick out their feathers for each of the silly hair stick puppets they will be making. A good rule of thumb is two feathers per puppet.
- Once the feather colors are decided, go ahead and glue it to the top of the painted wavy stick.
- Now you are ready to really give the stick puppets some life. Grab some wiggle eyes, some small pom poms and your glue.
- Go ahead and glue those onto the wooden craft stick like a face.
- Use your Sharpie markers to draw on a face as well.
- When done with the decorating, set it aside to let them dry completely.
- You’re almost to the finishing line with this last step! Go ahead and grab a pipe cleaner & wrap it a few times around the craft stick, as well as twisting it a bit to look like arms.
- At this point, you can also add other embellishments as you see fit OR get straight to the imaginative play with your awesome new creations!
