Calling all my crafty friends! Need a last minute craft idea for Christmas or perhaps something for winter? Well look no further because today’s popsicle stick Christmas bell kid friendly activity is extra special just for YOU!

Not only is our craft ctick Christmas bell kid craft tutorial is super simple and fun for all ages – but it also goes along PERFECTLY with the wacky {but super fun} holiday children’s book There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Bell! {affiliate link} by Lucille Colandro.

A wacky new Christmas version of the classic “There Was an Old Lady” song!

This time, the hungry old lady swallows a bell, bows, gifts, a sack, a sleigh, and some reindeer! She’s about to swallow a candy cane for dessert, when she hears a jolly “Ho! Ho! Ho!” Santa Claus is waiting for a ride! Watch what happens when she whistles, with amazing results!

With rhyming text and funny illustrations, this lively version of a classic song will appeal to young readers with every turn of the page–a fun story for Christmastime!

This is a wonderful companion to Colandro and Lee’s other Old Lady books!

So why does the old lady swallow a bell? Well – you will have to read the book to find out and celebrate with our popsicle stick bell craft afterwards! You can find ALL the details below in the full tutorial!

Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us your child’s Christmas bell made from popsicle sticks, on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
