Icecream Stick Animal Bookmarks

Don’t overthink this one. If you know someone who loves to read and goes bananas over cute stuff, then make them these Ice cream Stick Animal Bookmarks. They’ll love ’em! The set includes one of each of the following animals: Zebra, Snake, Tiger, and Lion.

After a 2 month break, we started our craft class again. We decided to make animal bookmarks this month. We made roaring lions, growling tigers, bouncy zebras & a hissing snake. We used colored popsicle sticks from itsy bitsy and craft papers. Glue & Marker to add some designs. Do try this easy project and let us know how it went. Here’s the happy face pic from the class.

Craft stick crafts are fun for kids as they can be turned into just about anything. Make adorable barnyard farm animals and other great craft stick crafts!

Craft sticks can be turned into just about anything. The cute characters found in a barnyard are a great example! Cows, horses, pigs, chickens, and more, all in craft stick form! I’ve always loved craft sticks as a surface. They are inexpensive and have so many possibilities.
