Get crafty with your kids this summer! Make their own camping mugs with just popsicle sticks, paint and some imagination.

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

First glue your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence. You will want to lay 7 next to each other and follow that up with the remaining two, the other direction to make the mug shape.
Set aside your newly made shape to let it dry completely.
Once dry enough, you are ready for paint.
Go ahead and squirt the blue craft paint on the paper plate.
Use a paint brush to paint your popsicle stick mug shape completely blue {or honestly – any color you like!}
Now squirt some white paint on the same paper plate.
Dip the toothbrush in the white craft paint.
Use your thumb to “spray” some of the white paint on the popsicle stick shape. You just want to rub your thumb gently over the toothbrush bristles, facing the popsicle stick shape, to make the speckled look on top of the blue paint.
Repeat until you have the look you like.
Clean off excess white paint from your finger with a baby wipe.
Now grab your blue cardstock and scissors.
Cut out a simple mug handle shape from it.
At this point in time you can also cut out a rectangular “rim” or mug lip from the black cardstock.
To finish off your Popsicle Stick Camping Mug – glue on your paper pieces in place, as well as any other embellishments you see fit {like how I did the face on mine!}
Then display your creative mug piece proudly for all to see! Cheers!
