Popsicle Stick Magician’s Hat – Kid Craft
Here’s a super fun fact – two years ago, Lil Man was pulled on stage and got to perform a magic trick during a Michael Carbonaro live show.
That same night, someone also gave us free backstage passes for the meet & greet to meet Michael afterwards. That entire night was pretty MAGICAL and I just hope my son remembers it forever. I know I will!
Anyways – we have been pretty avid watchers of the Carbonaro Effect show on TruTV. for the past few years. Have you heard of it? I don’t know what it is about the TV show but even when the reruns come on, we always sit down together to re-watch them. A good chunk of them we have seen probably 10+ times each. It’s just good stuff, that always starts a conversation of “how” he does it. We would like to think we know… but honestly we don’t. We even asked Lil Man to spill the beans after the live show when he got pulled on stage but he came up with nothing. LOL.

So on that note, because of our past experience and my son’s love of magic tricks, that’s exactly what inspired today’s Popsicle Stick Magician’s Hat kid craft idea. It’s got my favorite craft material in the mix {popsicle sticks} and an adorable paper bunny cutout peeking out from behind, to tie it all together.
It’s absolutely perfect for littles {and bigs} to recreate within minutes, especially since there is a free provided printable {that you will find below} to get you started even faster. All this magic rabbit in hat art project takes is some gluing, painting and a little cutting. No magical elaborate craft skills required! Very basic stuff here!
NO tricky tricks about it – follow the full step-by-step simple tutorial below and recreate your own rabbit in a magician hat craft piece today! Then follow it up with some real magic tricks afterwards, to make it even more fun! I’m sure you are going to have a blast with your child!
