Craft Supplies:

Gathering your supplies is half the fun! Here’s everything you’ll need to create these sweet popsicle stick mama bear magnets:

  • Mini Popsicle Sticks {7 per craft}
  • Low-Temp Hot Glue Gun
  • Craft Paint
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Small Paint Brush
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Craft Scissors
  • Sharpie Markers
  • Small Wiggle Eyes {2 per craft}
  • Small Circular Magnets

Directions:

  • First get the glue gun hot and ready!
  • Grab your SEVEN mini popsicle sticks.
  • Assemble the base of your mama bear by gluing your mini popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {five next to each other and two across.}
  • Repeat for each mama bear magnet you want to make today.
  • Next have children paint the front of their popsicle stick shape completely. Simply squirt some craft paint on the paper plate and hand over the paint brush.
  • When they are done painting, set it aside to let it dry completely.
  • Now grab the kraft colored cardstock paper and scissors.
  • Cut out a small, circular nose shape for the center of the craft and two half circle ear pieces for the back.
  • When ready, hot glue those paper pieces, in their designated spots, to the painted popsicle stick shape, along with the wiggle eyes.
  • Use the black Sharpie marker to draw on a smile on the nose piece.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Mama Bear craft, hot glue a small magnet to the back of your finished, decorated piece.
  • At this point in time you can add other small embellishments like a small bow, glitter, stickers etc. to tie the mama bear theme together.
  • When done completely with the craft, set it aside to allow it to dry completely before displaying and/or gifting away proudly!!!
  • One last step – don’t forget to share pictures of your completed craft, with 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!
