Craft Supplies:

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
  • School Glue
  • Brown Craft Paint
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Black Craft Foam
  • Brown Cardstock Paper

Directions:

  • First grab three popsicle sticks {three per porcupine} and glue them together to look like a triangle.

  • Repeat for each porcupine piece you want to make today.
  • When the triangle shape is dry enough, go ahead and paint it completely brown.
  • Again, set it aside to allow it to dry completely.
  • While that is drying, grab your brown scrapbook paper and cut a triangular shape that will be placed within the popsicle stick design and be body of the porcupine.
  • At this time, you should also cut out a heart shaped head out of the brown cardstock and a small oval nose from the black.
  • Now glue your paper pieces in place, on the painted popsicle stick shape.
  • Now grab your black craft foam and have children cut out small stripes to be the spikes of the porcupine.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Porcupine – have children glue on their black “quills” all over the decorated craft stick piece, as well as the wiggle eyes.
