Popsicle Stick Lightning McQueen

Popsicle Stick Lightning McQueen & Cruz Ramirez - Kid Craft

Lightning McQueen & Cruz Ramirez Craft

Do you have a Cars fan in your home like I do? Boy are you in a real treat with our latest Popsicle Stick Lightning McQueen and Cruz Ramirez kid craft tutorial!

Yesterday my lil man and I were lucky enough to be able to attend the Disney Pixar’s ‘Cars 3’ Tour that recently stopped here in Tampa, Florida.

Since my son is ALL about cars and trucks these days {and at one point Lightning McQueen was his obsession as well} we HAD to check it out and boy did it not disappoint! After all the fun we had and the sneak peek we saw, we can’t wait to see it in theaters June 16th!

Anyways – long story short, that’s exactly what inspired today’s Popsicle Stick Lightning McQueen & Cruz Ramirez kid craft idea! Perfect to celebrate the upcoming movie release AND make some awesome one-of-a-kind race car craft pieces together!

So what are you waiting for? Let’s REV up those engines and get ready for some lightning-fast craft time with these craft stick cars! Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your Cars franchise inspired creations on our Facebook page to admire today! I can’t wait to see what characters you decide to make! #gluedtomycrafts
