Popsicle Stick Red Parrot Craft
All hands ahoy! Everyone get on the CRAFTY deck! I’m so excited you are here TODAY on Glued To My Crafts!
Since book inspired kid crafts are my “booty” – I’ve combined the BEST of both worlds into one with craft time and story time!
And with today’s Popsicle Stick Parrot kid craft idea, you will be inspired to batten down the hatches and check out the book Pete The Cat and The Treasure Map {which by the way totally inspired this post!}
New York Times bestselling author and artist James Dean brings us a fun, epic sea adventure with Captain Pete in Pete the Cat and the Treasure Map! Includes over 30 fun stickers.
When Captain Pete discovers a treasure map, he and his crew are ready to set out and sail the seas to find the buried gold and jewels. But they weren’t expecting to find a giant sea monster along the way!
So let’s walk the plank and get to it, all right?! Find the full tutorial below for this craft stick parrot head craft idea!
