Popsicle Stick Key Craft Idea

Looking for a fun and easy craft to do with your kids this Valentine’s Day? Look no further than this popsicle stick key tutorial!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First grab TWO jumbo popsicle sticks and THREE mini stick per key you want to make today.
  • Get the glue gun hot and ready.
  • Lay the two jumbo popsicle sticks next to each other and then glue the three mini ones {like the teeth of a real key} the opposite direction, only on one side, to secure the whole thing in place. Just envision a real key – you can either space the mini sticks a little bit apart or have them closer together. The choice is yours! Also the side of the jumbo popsicle stick is also up to you.
  • Allow the hot glue to dry completely on the craft sticks but don’t unplug your glue gun just yet!
  • Next up – painting. Squirt some paint on a paper plate and use a small paint brush to paint your wood key however you like. I left the “teeth” of my keys unpainted but you can of course paint those as well.
  • Allow the craft paint to dry a bit before you move onto the next step.
  • To finish off the Key To My Heart Craft – hot glue the craft felt heart to the OTHER end of the jumbo popsicle sticks, where the mini popsicle sticks are not. This is now the handle of the valentine key.
  • Go ahead and also trim out one of the word strips from our free printable {listed above} and glue it to the center of the decorated key piece. If you don’t have the capability to print our free file or you just don’t want to, you can also handwrite it on paper or use scrapbook stickers instead.
  • Then add other embellishments and display your wood Valentine’s Day key proudly for all to see!!!
  • Remember – you can easily hot glue string to the back to turn it into an ornament or add magnets to the back to add it to the fridge for displaying.
  • For added customization, take a mini printed picture of your child {maybe a wallet sized school picture} trim around their head in the picture and glue that to the craft felt heart potion so it really looks like it’s the “key to their heart” being gifted.

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!
