It’s Stacey from Glued To My Crafts coming by with ANOTHER kid friendly craft in honor of the upcoming BIG Dr Seuss birthday celebration day! Recently my son and I made these fun and recognizable Popsicle Stick Thing 1 & 2 pieces and I just couldn’t wait to share them with you all!

These Thing 1 and 2 craft stick pieces are simply perfect for pretend play pieces, reading tools or just because moments! Did I mention they make for awesome keepsakes as well since they involve your child’s handprints for their blue hair?!

Well enough chit chat from me – whatever you decide to do with your beautiful handmade wood craft stick Thing 1 & 2 pieces – I hope you enjoy making them and reading some Dr Seuss themed books afterwards!!!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished popsicle stick and handprint Thing 1 & 2 puppets! #gluedtomycrafts

Thing 1 & 2 Craft Supplies:

optional embellishments – sparkles, glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First grab three popsicle sticks {three per “thing” craft} and glue them together to look like a triangle.
* Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Repeat for each piece you want to make.
* Once dry, grab your craft paint and squirt some on the paper plate.

* Now grab your white cardstock paper and scissors.
* Cut out a triangular piece for inside the popsicle stick design.
* Draw a face in the center of the paper with the black marker.

* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Things 1 & 2  – have children glue their paper pieces in place, as well as any other embellishments {like rhinestones and more glitter} where they see fit.
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
