Popsicle Stick Hot Dog Craft Idea

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 STICK HOT DOG CRAFT TUTORIAL:

Hot Dog Craft Supplies: To complete this pigeon book themed craft, you will need two mini popsicle sticks, three jumbo popsicle sticks, school glue, pink craft paint, a paint brush, red/yellow puffy paint, scissors and light brown cardstock.

The Simple 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 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. Set aside to let it dry completely and display proudly!
