So what are you waiting for??! Although the Lorax is portrayed as grumpy in the book/movie – he’s really charming in this craft. So grab those craft supplies and make one up today! Happy crafting, my friends!!!

Popsicle Stick Lorax Craft Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {9 per lorax craft}
* School Glue
* Orange Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Yellow Cardstock
* Large Wiggle Eyes
* Large Brown Pom Pom
* Marker
* Scissors
optional embellishments like glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First assemble the base of your Lorax by gluing NINE popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {7 next to each and two across} Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Once dry, have children paint their piece completely completely orange. Again, set aside to let it dry completely.
* Now grab your orange cardstock and trace your child’s hands on it. Trim out TWO pieces and staple together at the palm of the hands, to create a beard. Don’t forget to cut out some eyebrows out of the remaining cardstock!!!
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Lorax, glue your cardstock pieces in place, along with the wiggle eyes and pom pom nose.
* Then add other embellishments {like glitter for a one-of-a-kind look} and display proudly!!!
