Check out these 20 Simple Popsicle Stick Crafts for Kids to Make and Play – Save those Popsicle or Ice Cream Sticks or Craft sticks and have fun!

Wherever you are in the world, I can guarantee that you can make a Popsicle stick craft, because there are Popsicles everywhere!

When we were young, my siblings and I used to gather the sticks from all the ice creams we had and when we had a sizeable collection, we set out to make all kinds of things with them. I remember making tiny doll furniture, while my sister made little trinket boxes.

These days you can either collect ice-cream sticks or buy craft sticks – you even get them in bulk at pretty cheap rates. We always have loads of these sticks at home, because you never know when the craft bug will bite you and when it does, you got to be ready!
