Popsicle Stick Cactus Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {affiliate link}
* Mini Popsicle Sticks {affiliate link}
* Small Heart Punch {affiliate link}
* Green Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Colored Cardstock {we used brown, yellow, pink and orange}
* Black Sharpie
* Scissors
* School Glue

Directions:

* First have children design and glue their popsicle stick cactus base together. This is done by gluing mini popsicle sticks {branches} all over a single jumbo popsicle stick. Once done, have them set it aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each cactus craft.
* Next have children paint their new popsicle stick design completely green. Once that is dry, have them draw “dots” all over to represent the cactus needles.
* Now grab your scissors and the brown cardstock. Cut a pot for your cactus to sit in.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Cactus Kid Craft – glue the cardstock pot, as well as some heart “flower” punch outs onto the popsicle stick design! Then add other embellishments you see fit and display proudly!!!
