Popsicle Stick Squirrel Craft Idea For Kids

PRINT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS CRAFT -

Get creative with the kids this weekend and make this adorable squirrel craft! All you need is some popsicle sticks, glue, and a bit of imagination

Popsicle Stick Squirrel Head - Kid Craft Idea

Squirrel Popsicle Stick Craft

One thing you should know about me is that I have a “slight” obsession with squirrels.

So it comes as no surprise, but that’s exactly what inspired today’s Popsicle Stick Squirrel kid craft idea! #gluedtomycrafts

Did I mention it also goes along perfectly with the book “Those Darn Squirrels Fly South” by Adam Rubin?! Yup, it’s one of our new favorites around here!!!

Those darn squirrels are at it again–this time wreaking havoc in a tropical location! Old Man Fookwire’s birds migrate south for the winter, and the squirrels decide to follow. They devise an ingenious plan to fly to a warm and beautiful beach with many new plants to snack on and many new birds to see. Though he would never admit it, Old Man Fookwire misses his furry friends. He joins them down south, paints the local birds, and succumbs to sunburn—so the squirrels have to drive his car back home.

Pair it up with story time and you will have a fun activity that is sure to be loved! I hope our post inspires you!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your popsicle stick squirrel creations! I can’t see what you both come up with! Tag us on Facebook or use our special branded hashtag. #gluedtomycrafts

Popsicle Stick Squirrel Head - Kid Craft Idea

Learn how to make this cute popsicle stick squirrel craft with your kids! It’s a great way to spend a weekend afternoon together.

Craft Supplies:

  • Jumbo Wood Sticks
  • School Glue
  • Paper Craft Scissors
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • Medium Sized Wiggle Eyes

Directions:

  • The fun starts here! First things first – grab three popsicle sticks {three per squirrel} and school glue.
  • Glue the three painted sticks together to look like a triangle.
  • Set aside the triangle piece to let it dry completely.
  • Repeat for each squirrel craft you want to make today.
  • While that is drying, grab all your paper sheets and scissors.
  • Cut a triangular shape, from the brown cardstock paper, that will be placed within the popsicle stick design and be the face of the squirrel.
  • Out of the remaining cardstock, you want to cut out ears, his snout and nose.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Squirrel – go ahead and glue all your paper pieces in place, with some school glue on the popsicle stick shape. The large brown triangle will go on the back of the popsicle stick shape, while all the other pieces go on the front.
  • Then add other embellishments they see fit to complete the look {like maybe a small bow for a girl squirrel!}
  • Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
  • Don’t forget to share pictures with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
