Craft time doesn’t need to stop after Christmas! We are adding a brand new WINTER themed tutorial to the blog archives and this time it’s titled Popsicle Stick Lumberjack Bear!
Keep scrolling to try out our easy, festive woodland craft idea that will wow the fingers they touch!
Lumberjack Bear Popsicle Stick Art Project
It all started with some plaid printed scrapbook paper in my craft stash.
From there, the juices flowed from my fingertips and I came up with this popsicle stick lumberjack bear craft idea.
When I first started my brainstorming, I envisioned something that kids {and adults} could make during the month of January, before we dive into the next big holiday.
As the title suggests, you just need some basic wood craft sticks, paper, paint and some glue. That’s it to create these woodland themed bear puppets within minutes!
These adorable bears dressed like lumberjacks are sure to WOW the ones who create them and the ones who get to admire them. Which one will you be? Hopefully we will encourage to join your child in the fun of making some adorable bears today!
Find all the details you need to know, in the full tutorial below! Then build some impressive lumberjack puppet friends together and extend the fun with a quick show step up in the living room. So much fun to be had – I’ll let you get to it!
As always – happy crafting my dear friends and don’t forget to share pictures of your finished craft stick lumberjack bear puppets with us on our Facebook page! I can’t wait to see how you give it your own spin!

- Out of the white paper, cut out some “fur” for the hat.
