Coming by with ANOTHER kid friendly craft in honor of the upcoming BIG Dr Seuss birthday celebration day! Recently we made these fun and recognizable Popsicle Stick Thing 1 & 2 pieces.

Perfect for pretend play pieces, reading tools or just because! Did I mention they make for awesome keepsakes as well?!

So whatever you decide to do with your beautiful handmade pieces – I hope you enjoy making them and reading some Dr Seuss themed books afterwards!!! Happy crafting, my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Popsicle Stick Thing 1 & 2 Craft Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per craft}
* School Glue
* Red/White Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Blue Glitter
* Paper Craft Scissors
* Cardstock {blue & white}
* Paper Sharpie Markers
optional – 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. Have children paint TWO sides white and the remaining side red. This will give your piece a more recognizable look. Again, set aside to let it dry.
* Now grab your white cardstock paper. Cut out a triangular piece for inside the popsicle stick design. Draw a face in the center. Set aside.
* Next go ahead and grab your blue cardstock. Trace your child’s hand to make the wild hair. Trim out and add blue glitter on top with school glue.
* 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!
