Popsicle Stick Yellow Taxi Car Craft
Inspired by my son’s love of cars and anything with wheels, today I present to YOU our Popsicle Stick Taxi kid craft idea! It’s a unique and first seen here idea on Glued To My Crafts today!
This crafty yellow taxi craft idea actually goes along PERFECTLY with our new favorite book “Maxi The Little Taxi” by Elizabeth Upton. This means you can make story time AND craft time extra special with just a few steps!!!
It’s Maxi the Taxi’s first day of work.
What fun it is to zip and zoom all around the town!
SPLASH go the mud puddles!
PLIPPITY-PLOP drips the ice cream and mustard from sticky little fingers!
Soon Maxi becomes so grimy and gooey that no one wants to ride with him.
Who will help this dirty little taxi discover what he needs most? It’s a smart little boy who takes Maxi for a noisy, tickly bath in the car wash!
This popsicle stick taxi is a great craft idea for kids that will keep them entertained for hours!
