PAIR YOUR CRAFT WITH —> Popsicle Stick Car Puppets

Craft Supplies:

Wooden Clothespins
Paint Pens
School Glue
Craft Scissors
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!!!
