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 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, on our Facebook page to admire! I can’t wait to see how you PIECE him together – wink wink! #gluedtomycrafts
