This popsicle stick kings craft is perfect for Christmas, a Sunday school lesson on Christ the King or a Three Kings Epiphany art project! Kids will love making this fun and easy craft.
Each craft stick king can be made with a few inexpensive supplies and a little imagination. I’ve made it SUPER EASY in my tutorial below, so you too can bring some one-of-a-kind “emperors” to life with wooden popsicle sticks, cardstock paper and white cotton balls!
Did I mention this king kids craft idea is also great for Christmas? Or a Sunday school lesson celebrating Christ The King or a Three Kings Epiphany craft? Maybe even in a puppet play scenario after a story time gathering? You could even hot glue some string to the back of each one so you can hang them on the tree or in your home. So many ideas, I just hope I inspire you today!
