Popsicle Stick Patriotic Truck Craft

PRINT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS CRAFT -

Get crafty this 4th of July with your little ones! This patriotic popsicle stick truck is the perfect way to get creative & add a fun touch of red, white & blue to your home this season!

Popsicle Stick Patriotic Truck – 4th of July Kid Craft Idea

Popsicle Stick 4th of July Truck

It all started when I stumbled upon some tiny flag toothpicks at Michaels recently. They weren’t even in a “patriotic” section. They were in the cake decorating department. Super random, right?

Anyways… since I’ve been on a popsicle stick truck sharing kick lately on Glued To My Crafts, it only seemed fitting that we throw a patriotic version into the archives!

With today’s tutorial, we now have a Christmas, Valentine, St. Patty’s, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and a plain ole farm truck version. GEEZ! That’s a whole lot of truck kid craft ideas – one for EVERY month. I’m telling you – once those creative juices flow in my head, there is no stopping me!

So on that note, I hope there is NO STOPPING YOU from recreating this latest and greatest idea with your child today. Perfect for ANY patriotic holiday you have in mind! I’m even thinking this would be great for a military child event or something along that long… I’ll let you brainstorm and get to it!

Find all the details below. Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of those popsicle stick masterpieces on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
