Popsicle Stick Cup of Kindness Craft

I’m hoping to fill up YOUR cup with tons of love and kindness with our latest kids craft tutorial!

Keep scrolling for the full how-to directions on this Popsicle Stick Cup of Kindness idea and recreate one {or two} with your child today!!

Popsicle Stick Cup of Kindness - Kid Craft

Cup of Kindness Craft Made From Popsicle Sticks

Today’s Popsicle Stick Cup of Kindness craft idea is a hands-on art project idea for young kids to tackle today AND in the same breathe, you can teach them that kindness is important, no matter the day, situation or time of year.

Although I’m “plopping” this in the Valentine’s Day category on our website, it’s honestly perfect for any day you might have in mind. I really believe that it’s a great door opener to a good talk with your child, while you sit down together at the table and craft the afternoon away. It’s my version of making a cup of LOVE. You can talk about the imaginative things you can put in the mug, while also hitting hard on what doesn’t belong.

While I was “brewing” up this crafty idea recently, I also thought it would be great for little crafters to give their finished kindness mug piece to a lucky receiver {or maybe a random stranger!} of their choosing. You could even include a small gift card to a local coffee shop, on the back, for them to enjoy!

This DIY is also great to turn into an ornament, gift tag, something you hang on the fridge etc. So many ideas and I hope it sparks something within you & your child! Although I used shades of pinks and reds for mine, please don’t feel limited by what I did. I highly encourage you and your child to think outside the box and BREW the perfect cup of kindness of YOUR choosing today!

Well – enough chit chat from me. It’s time to spread some cheer! Let’s grab our craft supplies, check out the full tutorial below and then learn how YOU can make this AWESOME {that can be customized} Craft Stick Cup of Kindness Mug with your child RIGHT NOW!
