DIY Colorful Icecream Stick Animal Bookmarks. They are perfect for brightening up reading time and you are sure to find a wild animal you love!

Today I am sharing a collection of Icecream stick animals. There are tons of kids’ crafts that can be made with popsicle sticks (or lolly sticks). I hope you will be inspired to make your own crafty animals and enjoy playing or displaying them. These are great for cheap and mess-free dollar store crafts and a good creative day with the little ones even toddlers and kindergartners.
