Popsicle Stick Robot Puppet


Popsicle Stick Robots - Super Creative Kid Craft Idea

Popsicle Stick Robot Puppet – Super Creative Kids Craft Idea

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 with us on our Facebook page to admire! I can’t wait to admire your hard work and see those robots made from craft sticks, in action in your home!!#gluedtomycrafts

  • Before you set aside the remaining cardstock paper {because you will want to save it for another round of robot crafting!} cut out a small rectangle shape for the belly of the robot.
  • At this point in time you should also cut out the antenna and legs for the robot from your sheets of colored cardstock paper.
  • To finish off your Popsicle Stick Robots – glue all your cardstock pieces, as well as some “button” buttons to the decorated popsicle stick shape.

  • Then let it all sit aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
