Hoot Hoot, Let’s Craft! Fun Owl on a Branch Using Popsicle Sticks
Crafting is a delightful and educational activity that can engage kids creatively while enhancing their fine motor skills.
Today, we’re introducing a charming and easy-to-make craft that will keep the little ones entertained for hours – an “Owl on a Branch” using popsicle sticks.
This craft idea is perfect for children who love animals and enjoy hands-on activities.
Creating an owl on a branch using popsicle sticks is a delightful and educational activity for kids. It engages their creativity, improves fine motor skills, and provides a sense of accomplishment. By following the simple steps outlined in this guide, your child can craft their adorable owl and proudly display it.
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 1 per craft
- Mini Popsicle Sticks – 4 per craft
- Craft Paint
- Paint Brushes
- Paper Plate
- School Glue
- Scissors
- Cardstock Paper
- Small Wiggle Eyes
Directions:
- First things first – if you are going to paint your popsicle sticks, do that first.
- Squirt your craft paint on your paper plate and paint your craft sticks however you like. I left my jumbo stick the natural color but I painted my minis in a burnt orange color.
- When done, set them aside to allow them to dry completely.
- Next up – cutting out your paper embellishments from the cardstock.
- Start off with the leaves and then the branches.
- Finish off with the wings of the owl and of course, a triangle nose, ears, feet etc. Use our pictures for an example.
- Finally the last step – assembling it all. Grab all your popsicle sticks, cardstock paper pieces, the wiggle eyes and school glue.
- First glue the five MINI painted popsicle sticks, in a row like a square, onto the jumbo popsicle stick. This will be the body of the owl and if you can envision it at this point, the jumbo stick is the tree branch.
- Follow that step up by gluing on all his paper body features so he can start to come to life.
- Don’t forget his eyes!
- Now the last gluing step – the leaves and little stick tree branches. Glue those in the empty spaces on the jumbo popsicle stick.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit.
- Set it aside to let it dry completely before you display it proudly.
- Don’t forget to snap those pictures and share them with us! #gluedtomycrafts
