Popsicle Stick Crafts For Kids and Adults

by 2 Comments

Remember those Lincoln Logs? Are they even still around anymore (I must be showing my age)? You can stack them as high. I loved building things with my hands. That’s why I became so crafty as an adult. Although, I was never prepared to give up my popsicle stick crafts. They were very much like the Lincoln Logs, only they wouldn’t fall if my sister knocked them down. They always came in a variety of colors, or I got to color them and pattern them how I want to. These days, I use classroom popsicle stick ideas all the time. I have a decorated mason jar activity craft where the sticks have stuff for the kids to do so I don’t hear the, “I’m boooooored.” And like any teacher, I have a jar of their names so random selection is actually random. For a Father’s Day Craft, I would have the children build a house or some kind of building frame, with tool stickers saying “You build me up.” If you want to be the best adult to a child ever, with stick crafts, let them eat a whole box of popsicles to get the sticks themselves. (I suggest you have backups because they get full really quick.)

Popsicle Stick Crafts

Popsicle sticks are a very underrated craft, and that makes me very sad because you can do so much with popsicle stick projects! There are people who make small scale castles and houses with them with clay plaster for a roof. I can’t even make a successful coil pot. The great part about popsicle sticks is that they can be used for home decor or outdoor crafts. I promise you aren’t confined to mere kids’ crafts with these. I did list them, because these are a fun way to help with their motor skills with the glue bottle, but there are some fun cheap decor ideas that you can utilize with this easy craft material for your house and home.

Hand Print for Daddy

by 1 Comment

Father’s Day is coming up, which means many people are looking for gifts for that special guy in their lives. Little kids look up to their dad because he is their hero. Wives look at their husbands because they are the most amazing men in their lives. And men look at their dads because that’s the person who taught him how to be a man. The most precious gift a child can give a parent is hand print.

Although you might not know what to do with it for the time being, you can always look back at it and realize how fast your child is growing. It’ll make you remember the good times you had with your child and how much they’ve learned throughout the years. The key hook for dad is a great craft. Not only does it have your child’s hand-print on it, but you can also put your keys on it. Many people lose their keys, so this is a good way to stay organized. Find that special gift and make it one to remember. Happy Father’s Day!
