Popsicle Stick Handprint Lobster


Popsicle Stick Handprint Lobster - Kid Craft

Handprint & Popsicle Stick Lobster Craft

Inspired by summer and our upcoming move to Florida {yikes it’s a month away!} today I present to you our Popsicle Stick Handprint Lobster craft idea.

Not only is this a fun way to use some popsicle sticks for a summer themed activity BUT it’s also a pretty creative way to in-cooperate those sweet little handprints of your little crafter, into a great ocean themed craft.

So without further ado – don’t get “pinched” or lobster red thinking you can’t make this craft today. You totally can and I have faith it will turn out absolutely AMAZING! Now keep scrolling to find the full tutorial, for this craft stick lobster idea, below!

Happy crafting my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your handprint lobster creations our Facebook page! I can’t wait to see what you and your little crafter create! #gluedtomycrafts
