Popsicle Stick Lemonade Stand Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {six per craft}
* School Glue
* Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Paper Plate
* Scissors
* Cardstock
* Gitter
* Markers

Directions:

* First assemble the base of your lemonade stand. You will need SIX jumbo popsicle sticks per craft. The best way I explain this step, is to make a fence but with a large gap in between. Please use my picture for example.
* Once you have your piece assembled, set aside to let it dry completely. While it’s drying, go ahead and cut out embellishments from your cardstock to give your piece that one-of-a-kind look.
* Next squirt some paint on a paper plate. Have children paint their popsicle stick shape however they like {we did yellow for ours.}
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Lemonade Stand – have children add their cardstock pieces and glitter to the front of their shape. Then set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
