When I think of Christmas, I think of children writing letters to Santa and running to the mailbox to mail it. So that’s exactly what inspired this Popsicle Stick Christmas Mailbox kid craft idea!

Perfect to use as an ornament, pretend play in a Christmas town setup or a custom gift tag when you add someone’s name to the front. It has so many crafty possibilities to it, that you can literally run with this idea however you want!

So on that note – what are you waiting for? Find the full tutorial below and get to craftin’ up your own mailbox creations with our child today! Happy crafting, my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Mini Popsicle Sticks {4 per mailbox craft}
* Regular Popsicle Sticks {1 per mailbox craft}
* Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* School Glue
* Cardstock
* Scissors
optional – glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First assemble the base of your mailbox by gluing the popsicle sticks together. It should look like a “flag.” Set aside to let it dry.
* Next have children paint the front of their popsicle stick shape however they like. Set aside to let it dry.
* Now grab your cardstock. Cut out a small mailbox flag, door and even a little tiny letter to go inside the mailbox.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Mailbox craft, have children glue their cardstock embellishments to the popsicle stick design. Then either decorate your piece with glitter, rhinestones or even more craft paint before displaying proudly!!! For easy hanging – hot glue ribbon to the back!
