While Valentine’s Day celebrations for kids often involve candy, cards, and cupids, this Popsicle Stick Valentine’s Day Fairy craft tutorial adds a magical twist that kids are sure to love!
Creating their own fairy character out of basic craft supplies like wood sticks, paint, and cardstock paper is the perfect Valentine’s Day activity for any child with an imagination.
This fun DIY project allows kids to flex their creative muscles as they design a unique fairy of their own.
The step-by-step instructions and materials needed are simple enough for even young children to complete independently, and doing so nurtures skills like fine motor development.
Best of all, the finished fairies make for adorable Valentine’s Day decorations to remind kids of the magic and wonder of this holiday for years to come.
These beautiful popsicle stick Valentine fairies can be used in your home décor or in some creative imaginative play.
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
- Cardstock Paper
- School Glue
- Paint Pens {or craft paint & paint brushes}
- Large Heart Craft Punch
- Embellishments
Directions:
- First have children punch out FOUR hearts for their Valentine Fairy. This will be the dress and wings. You can the two wings to be the same color but the dress pieces can be opposite but of course, different from the wings.
- Now grab your paint pens and popsicle stick.
- Draw on a face, hair and of course – ballet slippers onto the popsicle stick.
- Follow this up by adding any other embellishments you see fit, for that give the “glamorous” look.
- To finish, have children glue on the hearts {two for the dress and two more for the wings} to the popsicle stick.
- At this point children can also add even more embellishments {like scrapbook stickers, glitter, rhinestones} that they see fit to really make it their own.
- Then display your popsicle stick Valentine’s day fairies proudly for all to see!
