Let your kids’ imaginations soar by crafting their very own robot puppet with just a few popsicle sticks! Watch their eyes light up as they create something special that only they could imagine.

Popsicle Stick Robots - Super Creative Kid Craft Idea

Robot Craft Made With Craft Sticks

Inspired by our newest book in our collection {Pete the Cat : Robo-Pete by James Dean} today I present to YOU our Popsicle Stick Robots kid craft idea!!! All you need is wood craft sticks, paper and buttons to make it happen!

When Pete’s friends don’t want to play the same games as he does, Pete has a great idea—he’ll build a robot that’s just like him! But when Robo-Pete gets a little out of control, Pete realizes the best thing about his friends is that no matter what they like to play, it’s always fun when they’re all together.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s make our own GROOVY robots from popsicle sticks and read the book in honor afterwards! You can find ALL the details you need to know, in the full tutorial below!

Happy crafting my friends!!! {affiliate link for Pete the Cat book series on Amazon} Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished craft stick and paper robots by tagging us on Instagram. I can’t wait to admire your hard work and see those robots made from craft sticks, in action in your home!!#gluedtomycrafts
