Supplies:

* 10 Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {per tractor}
* Green Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Glue
* Black/Yellow/White Cardstock
* Scissors

Directions:

* Grab your popsicle sticks. Lay five next to each other {like a fence} one by one, on a flat surface. Now grab your other popsicle sticks and start gluing them the other direction {hard to explain but refer to the above picture for example}
* Once all the popsicle sticks are glued together, set aside to let it all dry completely. Repeat for each tractor you want to make.
* When dry have children paint their popsicle stick piece completely green, while you cut out some wheels & other tractor truck features from the cardstock.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Tractor, glue the cardstock pieces in place as well as any other embellishments you see fit {think rhinestones, glitter etc. Then display or play with proudly!
