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} and a Red Truck {affiliate link}.

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! Happy crafting my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Popsicle Stick Truck Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {4 per truck}
* Mini Popsicle Sticks {2 per truck}
* Craft Paint {any color you like!}
* Paint Brushes
* School Glue
* Cardstock
* Scissors

Directions:

* Grab FOUR large popsicle sticks and TWO mini sized ones {this is per truck you want to make}
* Lay the four large ones next to each other, one by one, on a flat surface. Now grab your other two mini popsicle sticks and glue them the other direction to create a fence {hard to explain but refer to the above picture for example}
* Once all the popsicle sticks are glued together, set aside to let it all dry completely. Repeat for each truck you are making.
* When the glue is dry, have children paint their popsicle sticks however they like, while you cut out some wheels & other truck features from the cardstock.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Truck, glue the cardstock pieces in place as well as any other embellishments you see fit {think rhinestones, glitter, paper flames etc. Then display or play with proudly!
