Popsicle Stick Lorax w/Handprint Beard


Popsicle Stick Lorax w/Handprint Beard - Kid Craft

Popsicle Stick & Handprint Beard Lorax

With Dr. Seuss’ birthday right around the corner {this upcoming March 2nd} I’m coming at ya with our Popsicle Stick Lorax w/Handprint Beard kid craft idea!

As always – this kid friendly craft has simple supplies and is easy for children of ALL ages. Plus it takes less than an hour from start to finish. Perfect for those afternoons where you just NEED something to keep the kids entertained! Not to mention, it’s the perfect Dr. Seuss book craft to either throw in before or after story time.

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! I just know you are going to have a great time with this one!

Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to snap a few pictures to share, if you decide to recreate our Lorax made from popsicle sticks craft tutorial! You can always tag us on Instagram for us to see from there! #gluedtomycrafts

Popsicle Stick Lorax w/Handprint Beard - Kid Craft

This Lorax craft is so easy and fun to make with your kids! They’ll love showing off their handprint beards!

Craft Supplies:

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {9 total per lorax craft}
  • School Glue
  • Orange Craft Paint
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Yellow Cardstock Paper
  • Large Wiggle Eyes {2 per lorax craft}
  • Large Brown Pom Pom {1 per lorax craft}
  • Marker or Pencil
  • Basic Craft Scissors
  • optional embellishments – craft 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!!!

Make It Your Own:

  • If you don’t want to do handprint cutouts for the beard {maybe your child is not into it or the cutouts would be too big for the popsicle stick shape} you can ALWAYS hand-cut a simple beard shape out of yellow paper instead!
  • Don’t have a brown pom pom in your craft stash? Use a large brown BUTTON instead.
  • Want to skip the painting step? Try these “already” painted orange popsicle sticks. Less mess but still super fun!
  • My last tip is that you can add magnets or a piece of string to the back of the finished piece, for easy displaying around your home!
