In week two of covid-19 lock-down, we went through the craft drawer to see what we could make with what we had on hand. We had a whole bunch of popsicle sticks left over from another project, so we came up with this…
Things you will need:
Popsicle sticks
Glue
Cord or string
Instructions:
We made this up as we went along but the are plenty of ideas on pinterest. All you need is a bit of imagination. It pays to glue sections together flat, and then assemble them in 3D.
What the kids can do:
Cutting popsicle sticks: I recommend a grownup does this part. It takes quite a bit of pressure to cut them with scissors.
Assembly: Kids can help put the glue on and place the popsicle sticks. The main problem we had was related to a lack of patience while waiting for intermediate steps to dry.
