This is an easy craft that you can make with your kiddos (although it requires hot glue so it may be best for you to make and your kids to play with). My girls spent almost 45minutes playing with these and they were learning at the same time. Its a great toddler/preschool activity for sorting and learning colors.
Materials:
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
- felt (assorted colors)
- popsicle sticks
- crayon/marker (assorted colors)
- scissors
Instructions:
1. Using a marker, draw the desired shape of a popsicle onto a piece of felt.
2. Cut the shape out and use it as a stencil to draw an identical piece on the same color of felt and cut it out.
4. Using a marker or crayon write the name of the matching color felt on one of the sticks. Cut out a small piece of felt and using the hot glue, glue it on the end of the stick.
5. Insert the stick into the open part of the popsicle.
6.Repeat these steps for as many color of felt popsicles you would like to make.
How to play:
There really is no right or wrong way to play with these. I give them to my girls as finished popsicles and they quickly learned that the sticks and the popsicle separate. We talked about the colors and what each stick said and how they go together. My 2 year old, Sophia, then started matching them together while my 8 month old had more fun chewing on a stick :) oh well, its still sensory development and fun for everyone! Enjoy!
