Popsicle Stick Ballerinas

Unleash your creative side with this fun and easy popsicle stick ballerinas craft idea! Get your kids involved and have a blast making beautiful memories together.

Craft Supplies

Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
Pipe Cleaners
Cupcake Liners
School Glue
Paint Pens {or markers}
optional materials – rhinestones, glitter, glitter glue

Instructions

– First, have children flatten or fold their cupcake liners in half and use a bit of glue to secure them to the center of their popsicle stick. This is the ballerina’s tutu skirt.
– Repeat this for each ballerina puppet you are making today.
– Once the cupcake liners are down, grab your paint pens and draw on a face, hair, and, of course, ballet shoes onto the popsicle stick.
– If desired, glue on a “hairbow” paper punch out to finish the glamorous look.
– To finish off the cupcake liner and craft stick ballerina puppet, have children wrap or bend a single pipe cleaner a few times around the center of the popsicle sticks to resemble the ballerina’s arms.
– At this point children can also add other embellishments, {like scrapbook stickers, glitter, and rhinestones} that they see fit to really make it their own.
– Then display and/or play with proudly!
