T is for Tree - Popsicle Stick Kid Craft

Popsicle Stick Apple Tree Craft

Inspired by my preschool age son {I’m trying to step up his letter recognition right now} today I’m sharing another kid friendly activity that is SUPER simple for kids and adults of all ages to pull together to celebrate the moment in time!

This Popsicle Stick Tree craft tutorial has endless possibilities since you can have children decorate it for ALL the seasons {perfect to in-cooperate in to the classroom all year long!} And it’s just that – a “T” shape  that we turned into an apple tree! All you have to do after assembling it, is to decorate with various embellishments to really hit the idea on the nail {in our case – red sequined apples for the fall season!} Sounds super fun – am I right?!

Now let’s grab our craft supplies and get to work on this simple to follow step-by-step tutorial, listed below!

Happy crafting my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your “popsicle stick trees” with us on our Facebook community wall. I can’t wait to see what you come up with! #gluedtomycrafts

T is for Tree - Popsicle Stick Kid Craft

Get creative with your kids and the letter T! We will show you how easy it is to make an apple tree out of popsicle sticks!

Craft Supplies:

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 4 per craft

  • Foam Paint Brushes
  • Red Rhinestone Stickers

Directions:

  • First things first – pull out FOUR jumbo popsicle sticks per tree craft.
  • Go ahead paint three of the jumbo popsicle sticks, completely green.
  • The remaining one popsicle stick should be painted brown.
  • Set them all aside to allow them to dry completely.
  • When they are dry enough to touch, glue your painted popsicle sticks together to look like an “T.” Three jumbo popsicle sticks glued across the one brown popsicle stick.
  • To finish off your Popsicle Stick Tree kid craft – have children add rhinestone “apples” to the newly made popsicle stick shape. You want to keep all the rhinestone stickers in the green area.

Customize It: be sure to think out side the box for different seasons and fruit trees. You could switch out the paint colors for orange, yellow and red, for a fall tree or change out the red rhinestones for orange, for an orange tree! I hope those ideas inspire you!
