Make a Pen stand from ice cream sticks with kids

Here is yet another addition to our art projects.

Little Zoey was getting bored, and I did not want her to watch TV, it was a long tiring day, and also I wanted to keep it simple. Simple is good for her age too!

A  vibrant and colorful Pencil or pen holder made of popsicle sticks

What you need

Card stock or Toiletpaper roll

Acrylic paints and brushes

A bunch of popsicle sticks

Glue- we used fevicol

And some  ”patience”

Method

If you have a toilet paper roll lying around, use it, or else fold a strip of card paper /card stock to make the inside skeleton

Now paint up the popsicle sticks in vibrant colors. We used acrylics

Let them dry.

Stick them up.

For the base you could cut styrofoam/thermocol  or cardboard circle, and slide it in.

Your multicolored super adorable Pen Stand is ready.

You could always add toys /bling/ decorations to it. We kept it simple.

Sometimes simple crafts can be amazing fun! The 3 year old needed assistance while sticking up the sticks. But an older kid can do the activity all by themselves. Like I always mention – arts and crafts are a great bonding time with your kid!
