Mr. Potato Head Made Out of Popsicle Sticks
He’s one goofy looking potato but that’s what so “a-peeling” about him! <— Get it? HA!
Who doesn’t know who Mr. Potato Head is?! Seriously – it’s such an iconic childhood favorite that I had to make a kid craft idea in honor of him!
So without ado – here is our Popsicle Stick Mr. Potato Head kid craft idea. And just like the real thing, you can totally customize his silly face for any holiday, mood or even after a particular person {my teacher friends – think bulletin board idea for your entire class!}
Happy crafting my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished Mr. Potato Head made from popsicle sticks and craft felt, on our Facebook page to admire! I can’t wait to see how you PIECE him together – wink wink! #gluedtomycrafts
