Hot Dog Popsicle Stick Craft
Hi friends! I’m so glad you stumbled upon our super easy popsicle stick hot dog craft tutorial today! I just know you are going to love it!
Inspired by the popular book Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog by Mo Williems, today I present to YOU our pretend 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.

Craft Supplies:
- Mini Popsicle Sticks
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
- School Glue
- Pink Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- Red Puffy Paint
- Yellow Puffy Paint
- Scissors
- Light Brown Cardstock Paper
Directions:
- First things first things – start off by gluing 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 did pink but you could also mix 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.
- When done, set aside to let it dry completely and display proudly afterwards!
