Popsicle Stick Hot Dog – Kid Craft

Inspired by the popular book Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog by Mo Williems, today I present to YOU our Popsicle Stick Hot Dog kid craft idea!

When Pigeon finds a delicious hot dog, he can hardly wait to shove the entire thing in his beak. But . . . then a very sly and hungry duckling enters the scene and wants a bite. Who will be the more clever bird?

In this hilarious follow-up to the acclaimed Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! Mo Willems has created another avian adventure that encourages children to share even their most prized processed foods.

Supplies: To complete this hot dog themed craft, you will need mini popsicle sticks, jumbo popsicle sticks, school glue, brown/red craft paint, a paint brush, red/yellow puffy paint, scissors and light brown cardstock.

Directions: Simply glue together TWO mini popsicle sticks and THREE jumbo popsicle sticks to create a “fence.” Repeat for each hot dog you want to make.

Next have children paint the front of their newly made popsicle stick shape to give it the look of a hot dog {I mixed some red and brown paint for a more realistic hot dog color}

While they are working on that, cut out a oval “bun” shape from the brown cardstock. Remember – you will want it slightly bigger than your popsicle stick shape.

To finish off the Hot Dog Craft, glue the popsicle stick shape and cardstock bun pieces together and add some puffy paint “ketchup and mustard” on top. Set aside to let it dry completely and display proudly!
