Popsicle Stick Truck – Kids 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
