  • Paper Plate
  • White Craft Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Red/Blue Puffy Paint
  • Mini Clothespin {one per craft}
  • Wallet Sized Printed Picture
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Pencil Printable – on our landing page
  • Crayons

Directions:

  • For each “notebook paper craft frame” piece, you will need nine JUMBO popsicle sticks per picture frame.
  • Lay out seven popsicle sticks {on your flat surface} next to each other, in a row.
  • Now take the two remaining popsicle sticks and glue them the opposite direction to secure them like a fence and/or square shape.
  • Next up – paint! Paint the newly made wood shape completely white.
  • Now grab the puffy paint and several lines with the blue paint & one line with the red.
  • Once done with the painting step, set it aside for a bit.
  • While that is drying, go ahead and color/cut out one pencil design from the provided printable.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Back To School Picture Frame – hot glue the mini clothespin towards the top of the finished design. You will want the pinched end facing down.
  • Follow that up by hot gluing on the pencil cutout as well.
  • Let it all dry completely. Then add your picture and display proudly!
  • You can either prop it against something, hot glue ribbon to the back OR add magnets so you can place it on the fridge.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
