Silly Hair Sticky Stick Puppets - Kid Craft Idea

These silly hair wood stick puppets are super easy to make, really inexpensive & fun for ALL ages! Perfect for a boredom buster activity!

Craft Supplies:

  • Wavy Popsicle Sticks
  • Craft Paint
  • Paint Brushes
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Thick 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!
