PAIR OUR TENT CRAFT IDEA WITH —> Popsicle Stick Camping Mug – Kid Craft

Popsicle Stick Tent Craft Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per tent craft}
* School Glue
* Colored Cardstock Paper {we used dark blue/white/brown/orange}
* Craft Paint {we used dark blue}
* Foam Paint Brushes
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
optional materials – embellishments like glitter, rhinestones etc.

The Simple Directions:

* First grab three popsicle sticks {three per camping tent craft} and glue them together to look like a triangle.
* Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat.
* While those are drying, grab your cardstock and cut a triangular shape that will be placed within the popsicle stick design and be the “fabric” of the tent.
* At this time, you should also cut out a white piece for the tent opening and a small campfire for the front.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Tent – have children paint their popsicle stick design however they like, as well as gluing the paper pieces in place and adding any other embellishments they like.
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
