Popsicle Stick Truck - Kid Craft Idea For Story Time

If you follow us on Instagram, you may have noticed that this past weekend my son and I made a trip to our local Barnes & Noble store for story time {if you haven’t gone to these FREE events, be sure to look into them!}

No surprise when we got there, my son insisted we get some new “truck” themed books for our home library. After searching high and low, we finally settled on a Little Blue Truck Leads The Way {affiliate link on Amazon} and a Red Truck {affiliate link on Amazon.}

Anyways, long story short – this is what inspired today’s Popsicle Stick Truck kid craft idea! Perfect for any boy {or girl} to make and it makes for awesome decor too!

So what are you waiting for? Let’s REV up those ENGINES and get ready for some crafty fun with the full tutorial below!

Remember – you can customize these painted craft stick trucks however you want, so be sure to think outside the box with the paint colors and decorations! Happy crafting my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
