So you have a box of craft sticks and don't know what to do with them? Have we got some ideas for you!
Velcro popsicle craft sticks
*The Measured Mom used craft sticks (and lots of other things!) with play dough

*These easy picture frames from I Heart Crafty Things were made for Father's Day but would be a great gift anytime. Add jewels, glitter and other extras as desired :) 

*Kiwi Crate shows you how to make an easy raft with craft sticks and masking tape (and it really floats!) 

*The kids at Pre-K With Mrs. Winter made airplane pictures with craft sticks to go along with a transportation theme 

*Glue magnets on the back like Motherhood on a Dime did 

*Or how about glue some velcro on the back, like Suburban Moms Media (shown)

*Craftoart also added magnets and made shapes, letters, and other creations (shown)

*These counting puzzles from Powerful Mothering look fun (kids can use the numbers to help them with the puzzle, or the picture to help them put the numbers in order)

*Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas made bookmarks 

*Cut-out characters from old magazines and make stick puppets from My Nearest and Dearest 

*Also loving these puppets from Mama Smiles 

*Make dolls (people, pets and pirates!) at Molly Moo 

*Creations with colored craft sticks at Putti's World 

*Flowers with colored or painted sticks at Easy Preschool Craft 

What do your children like to do with craft sticks?
