Paper Popsicle Stick Craft for Kids Tips for Success

*For this project you should start with a normal piece of construction paper. Fold it into thirds to make your popsicle stick base. One piece of paper will work great for the base for three different popsicles.

*You can decorate your popsicles however you want them. Some ideas that would make them look like realistic popsicles include stripes, polka dots, or just three different colors from top to bottom. These would be a great way to practice color recognition and patterns.

*You can choose to use the skinnier popsicle sticks or the larger ones. The larger popsicle sticks make the project sturdier but the smaller ones look more realistic.
