Popsicle Stick Bamboo w/Handprint Sloth
Today’s Sloth on Popsicle Stick Bamboo craft idea is a slow-paced DIY that older children can craft up at THEIR own rate, with minimal help or steps {just like a real sloth!} It’s just a matter of tracing, cutting and adding your handprint sloth to a painted popsicle stick for him to “hang” on. That’s it! Nothing elaborate but still cute!!!
Plus you can customize it however YOU like and if desired – you can add magnets to the back to display on the fridge!
So what are we waiting for? Don’t be slowpoke! Find everything you need to know, in the full paper handprint sloth craft tutorial below! Then make a whole “bed” of sloths. Yup – a group of sloths is called a bed. You learn something NEW every day, right?!
Happy crafting, my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished popsicle stick and paper sloth creations, on our Facebook page wall so we can admire your hard work today! We can’t wait to see what you make! #gluedtomycraftsinspiresyou
