Can Ice creams be creative? Thought of Popsicle stick crafts for kids?

Summers are amazing & so are the ice creams to savour upon! From a year old kid to 70year old, I believe Ice cream is something “unavoidable” in nature, only the variants & flavours can change. As the temperature soars & the Ice cream parlour man comes, mom’s I’m damn sure you must be having a hard time cutting them out of your kids daily routines. And now when summer vacations are here, that’ll be a good shout out at homes:). So let’s switch to some popsicle stick crafts for kids.

Don’t think that I’m game in for a daily treat, but then get creative to sort that issue out. Let the candy enter the tummy & stick pile up for an amazing art. Yes moms & dads, here I’m gonna share some interesting crafts with popsicle sticks/ ice cream sticks for kids. So do not throw them away, rather wash, pat them dry & be ready to engage your kid for some really creative craft.

Try to put that as a bait;). No more ice creams until the craft gets completed. That will super engage them. And for the next time art why get some popsicle sticks online right there?

Here are some popsicle stick crafts or crafts with ice cream sticks for you!

1. Plant Markers:

Well who doesn’t loves gardening? The only problem which occurs is of the  space. So what? Let your house have some pots with fresh seeds to be sown. This will not only help kids develop gardening interests, but it is a great practical way to learn science. The soils, weather, amount of water, type of seeds, nurturing, will all help them learn ample. And yes let them craft out some beautiful Plant markers, tagging the name with images of the plant sown. Won’t that be a great idea? Look at my colorful “Tomato Marker”. Let kids paint & write tomato/any other plant which has been sown.

Super easy & creative!

2. Bookmarks:

Kids craving for those beautiful next shop bookmarks costing approx a $ or less? Why not ask them to design it themselves? What they need is a popsicle stick, glue/fevicol, colours, their favourite cartoon cut out of paper/cardboard. Let them colour up the stick & prepare their pooh, ready to be bookmarked. Paste it & it is ready for the favourite story book.

What’s your take?

3. Just getting Fishy:

Tried crafting a super easy fish, out of the popsicle sticks for my 2.5year old kid. It was super fun. Just 4 sticks, he loved painting them out, putting the googly eye & pasting them on his sheet. This was very simple, you can definitely carve out some fins & paint out river on the sheet & then paste the fishy fish:).  It’s just acting as an ignitor to your grey matter! Ice cream sticks can design simplest to most elaborative arts, simply depends on the time & imagination you put onto.

You’ll be popsicle stick crafts family soon!

4. Lil Duck or the next door Pug

I still remember making out a beautiful night lamp out of ice cream sticks when I had actually got bored out of my daily one in class VII. It was so satisfying that I used it for next few years besides my bed. Well, that is a great craft for lil older kids or kids and mommies together. Sharing a small video to help you out on it.

10. Let your emotions show:

Funny of me crafting! It could be the simplest!

Take 5 (less or more) sticks and all you need is sketch out your/kids emotions.

Draw out your emotions on single sticks – Happy, Sad, Curious, Surprised, Fear …and so many. Or colour out your favourite doll & gift it to your mom the cute lil thing:).

Once done, hang them on your wall or paste them on your table. Let kids look at the smiling face every time they get knocked off something. 

Let the ball roll!

Hey moms & kids, these are just few ideas, get your grey matters roll about & make as many as you wish too.. From Snakes to wall craft holders to those paper ice creams. There is no limit to limit yourself from the imagination.
