You can create so many different animals and creatures using popsicle sticks!
Start by glueing your popsicle sticks to paper, and then cut around it to keep the shape of the animal.
You can then paint the pop sticks and attach googly eyes, feathers and more!
Attach some string or pipe cleaners to the top of your popsicle animal to turn them into puppets. You can even tie a knot at the end of your string big enough to slip over your fingers.
Using the remainder of your popsicle sticks you can create a control bar and attach your popsicle puppets.
