Popsicle Stick Craft for Kids

This popsicle stick craft is quite unique and a ton of fun. If you’re looking for a great way to show your child just how creative crafting can be, this is the craft that can do just that!

We absolutely love puzzles in our house but we have a big habit of losing pieces. And who really wants to spend all that time putting together a puzzle only to find out that you can’t complete it because you don’t have the missing piece? Not me, but only because I’ve been there about a million times.

Instead of following in my footsteps, create this simple craft instead. This homemade puzzle takes no time at all to make and it’s a simple way that you can be certain that all the pieces are there and it’s super simple to get finished.

All you need to do is gather up the supplies below and get ready to get creating!

Materials To Make Popsicle Stick Puzzle

Pre-colored Popsicle sticks
1 plain Popsicle stick
Hot glue gun
Cookie cutter in a Spring-themed design
Pencil
Black marker

How to Make a Puzzle Out Of Popsicle Sticks

Line all of the pre-colored Popsicle sticks up so that they form a rectangle or square, with the ends lined up and the sides all touching.

Place a thin layer of hot glue down the length of a plain popsicle stick, and place it vertically, glue side down along the entire length of the lined up pre-colored sticks. This will hold your colored sticks in place so that you can draw your puzzle shape on the opposite side.

Flip the connected colored popsicle sticks over, and trace the shape of a spring-themed cookie cutter in pencil.

Trace over the pencil shape with a black marker.

Turn the colored sticks back over and remove the plain popsicle stick that you glued onto them. This should be easy to do, but if it is difficult, try pulling off just one stick at a time gently.

Mix up the colored popsicle sticks, design side up, and let your little ones have fun putting together their spring-themed puzzle.
