Popsicle Stick Scarecrow Puppets

Looking for a fun craft to do with the kids this autumn season? Check out our popsicle stick scarecrow puppets! They’re super easy to make and so cute to add to your fall craft plans!

Craft Supplies:

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
  • Brown Craft Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • School Glue
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Scrapbook Paper
  • Scissors
  • Black Marker
  • Embellishments

Instructions:

  • First grab TWO of your jumbo popsicle sticks, the paint brush and the brown craft paint.
  • Paint each craft stick completely brown and set them aside for later.
  • Next grab your three remaining popsicle sticks and glue them together to look like a triangle. These sticks will stay nude in color.
  • Set aside the triangle shape to let it dry a bit.
  • Repeat the above steps for each scarecrow piece you want to make.
  • While your popsicle stick shape is drying, choose a sheet of patterned scrapbook paper for inside your scarecrow.
  • Cut out a large triangle out of it, that will fit inside the popsicle stick design you just made. This will be the body of your scarecrow friend and be the inside of the dress shape, as well. Set aside.
  • Now grab your remaining cardstock paper and cut out a circular head, hat brim and anything else you think your scarecrow needs.
  • Draw on facial characteristics on the head with a black marker.
  • When the popsicle stick triangle shape is dry enough, glue all the paper pieces you just made, in their designated spots.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Scarecrow Friends – glue the TWO painted popsicle sticks to the BACK of the decorated triangle shape to make arms and the stick that holds the puppet together. See our picture for an example.
  • Add any other embellishments you see fit like glitter, stickers, sequins etc.
  • When done, set it all aside in an undisturbed area so it can dry completely before you display it proudly!
  • Don’t forget to take pictures and tag us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

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!
