PAIR YOUR CLOTHESPIN CAR CRAFT WITH —> Popsicle Stick Car Puppets
Clothespin Cars Craft Supplies:
* Wooden Clothespins – one per clothespin car craft
* Paint Pens
* School Glue
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* Colorful Cardstock Paper – any color you like!
* Sharpie Markers
optional materials for this craft – glitter glue, rhinestones etc.
Directions:
* First paint your clothespin for a customized look! We personally love paint pens for this small task BUT you can get the real craft paint out and use small paint brushes.
* When done painting, set aside to let it dry completely.
* While those are drying, grab your cardstock and cut out some “car” features. Think wheels, the window etc. Use our pictures as an example.
* Go ahead and use your Sharpie markers to draw in a character who is driving your car as well 🙂
* To finish off the Clothespin Cars craft, have children glue their cardstock pieces in place on the clothespin before playing and/or displaying proudly!!!
* Don’t forget to share pictures with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
