Inspired by the upcoming back-to-school season, today I present to you our super cute Popsicle Stick Crayon Friends kid craft idea! It’s the perfect DIY activity to keep the kids busy during the first day of school back in the classroom and BEYOND!

Best part? Kids can give their crayon friends ANY personality, color or style they like! It’s an inexpensive craft project that will allow kids to REALLY get those creative juices flowing!

So what are you waiting for?! Find the full tutorial below and get ready to make some COLORFUL crafty fun with your kids today! Happy crafting, my friends!!!

Crayon Friends Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per crayon craft}
* Mini Popsicle Sticks {2 per craft}
* Small Paper Plate
* Craft Paint {any color you like!}
* Paint Brushes
* Colored Cardstock
* Wiggle Eyes
* Glue
* Scissors

Directions:

* First assemble the base of your crayon friend by gluing your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {3 jumbo next to each and two mini across} Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Now grab your paint, paint brush and popsicle stick base. Have children paint the front of it any color they like, while you cut out a crayon “tip” from the cardstock.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Crayons craft, have children glue the cardstock piece to the popsicle stick design, along with drawing on a face with the remaining paint. Then let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
