Popsicle Stick Pirate w/Handprint Beard - Kid Craft Idea

Get in the spirit of Talk Like a Pirate Day with this fun popsicle stick pirate craft idea that kids will love!

Craft Supplies:

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 9 per craft
  • School Glue
  • Skull Paper Punch
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Colored Cardstock Paper
  • Pencil or Pen

Directions:

  • First assemble the base of your pirate’s face by gluing your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {7 next to each and two across}
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • If your child wants to, have them paint the front of their popsicle stick fence however they like. We kept ours blank.
  • Now grab your white cardstock paper and pencil.
  • Trace your child’s hand on the paper.
  • Trim it out to make a beard for the pirate.
  • Next up – cut out the remaining facial features from your cardstock {like his eye, eye patch, hat and nose!}
  • Use the paper punch to make a skill design for the hat.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Pirate craft, glue your cardstock pieces and handprint beard cutout to the popsicle stick shape. I suggest starting with the beard and working upward.
  • Then add other embellishments you see fit and display proudly for all to see!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
