Get creative with your kiddos and make this fun zebra craft! It’s a great opportunity to use up some popsicle sticks, and you can even let the kids paint them however they want.

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:

  • Start by gathering all your wooden craft materials and heating up your glue gun.
  • To create the base of your zebra, glue FOUR jumbo popsicle sticks side by side. Then glue TWO mini popsicle sticks across them horizontally, forming a fence-like structure.
  • Set the base aside and allow it to dry completely. Repeat this step for each zebra puppet you plan to make.
  • Once the popsicle stick base is dry, pour black and white craft paint onto a paper plate.
  • Using a foam brush, paint the flat side of the popsicle stick base completely white.
  • Paint TWO mini clothespins black, then add simple black stripes to the white popsicle stick base to mimic a zebra’s pattern. Let all the pieces dry fully.
  • While the paint dries, grab the zebra head printable and scissors. Cut out one zebra head (the printable allows for up to four zebras, so save the rest for later).
  • Color the zebra’s nose area gray to add detail.
  • Once the painted popsicle stick base is dry, place it flat on your workspace with the long side facing you. This will serve as the zebra’s body.
  • Glue the paper zebra head to one end of the painted popsicle stick base.
  • To finish your popsicle stick zebra, attach the TWO black clothespins to the bottom of the base for legs.
  • Add any extra embellishments you’d like—maybe a small bow or some glitter for a fun touch!
  • Allow everything to dry completely before displaying your adorable zebra creation with pride!

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!
