Acorn Craft Made From Popsicle Sticks

These Popsicle Stick Acorn Friends are super easy to whip up and perfect for a more rustic fall theme you in-cooperate into your craft plans. My personal favorite element is the fact that you can make them “smile” with just some googly and a Sharpie marker.

Using inexpensive materials like jumbo popsicle sticks, school glue and colored cardstock paper – you and your child can make some one-of-a-kind brown acorn craft pieces that are perfect to turn into a banner for decor OR add another popsicle stick to the back of the finished pieces, to create some puppet play characters.

Whatever you decide to do with your child’s finished acorn masterpieces, I hope you have fun helping them creating them! On that note, you can find the FULL easy peasy kids craft tutorial by scrolling below!

Happy crafting, my friends! If you don’t mind, I would LOVE to see images of your smiling craft stick acorn friends on our Facebook community wall! Snap a few pictures and come share them with us! #gluedtomycrafts
