Directions:
Creating a popsicle stick & handprint snowman wagon is a straightforward process that can be broken down into manageable steps.
- First things first – grab THREE large popsicle sticks and TWO mini sized ones {this is per winter wagon you want to make today.}
- Lay the three large ones next to each other, one by one, on a flat surface.
- Now grab your other two mini popsicle sticks and glue them the other direction, on top of the jumbo sticks, to create a simple rectangle shape.
- Set it aside to allow it to dry a bit.
- While that is drying, grab your white cardstock paper and a marker.
- Pick a hand. Any hand will do. Trace your hand on the white paper and trim it out using scissors.
- Now for the elements that make it into FIVE snowmen. Cut out five black hats and glue them on each fingertip.
- At this point in time you should also draw on their faces.
- Out of the remaining black cardstock, cut out TWO wagon wheels, as well as a handle for the wagon.
- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Snowman Wagon, glue all the cardstock pieces in place, as as well as securing the handprint “snowmen” to the back of the wagon.
- Follow that up with a few tree farm stickers and any other embellishments you see fit {think rhinestones, glitter, holiday stickers etc.}
- Then display proudly for all to see!
