Craft Supplies:

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 4 per craft
  • Mini Popsicle Sticks – 2 per craft
  • Mini Clothespins – 2 per craft
  • Low Temp Glue Gun
  • White Craft Paint
  • Black Craft Paint
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Small Paint Brush
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Zebra Printable – on our landing page
  • Gray Crayon
  • Craft Scissors

Directions:

  • First grab all your wooden items and get the glue gun hot & ready!
  • Assemble the base of your zebra friend by gluing FOUR jumbo popsicle sticks and TWO mini popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {4 next to each other and the mini popsicle sticks across}
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Repeat the above steps for each zebra puppet friend you want to make today.
  • When the popsicle stick shape is dry enough to touch, go ahead and squirt your shades of white and black craft paint on the paper plate.
  • Take the foam paint brush and paint the flat side of your newly made popsicle stick shape completely white.
  • Go ahead and also paint your TWO mini clothespins with the black craft paint and draw on some simple “stripes” on the larger white piece as well.
  • Set all the painted pieces aside to allow them to dry completely.
  • Now grab your zebra head print out and the scissors.
  • Cut out one of the heads from the printable {remember – the printable will allow you to do this craft FOUR times so save the piece of paper for later.}
  • Go ahead and color in the “nose” of the paper cutout, completely gray.
  • Now grab your painted popsicle stick shape and turn it on your work station, so the rectangle is laying on it’s larger side. This is the zebra’s body.
  • Go ahead and glue your paper head piece to one side of the painted popsicle stick shape.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Zebra craft, go ahead and pinch the TWO painted clothespins to the painted popsicle stick shape to create the legs.
  • Add any other embellishments you see fit {maybe a small bow or a little bit of glitter!}
  • Then let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!

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!
