I am always on the hunt for crafts my girls can do. I like to limit screen time, and as a crafty individual myself, I love to get crafty with my daughters. I buy craft materials like Popsicle sticks in bulk and set them up at a covered table whenever I need a break. Whenever my kids are lacking in the imagination department, I give them some ideas as to what they can make. There are a zillion things kids can do with Popsicle sticks besides build houses!
From Popsicle stick puzzles to 3D frames, these creative Popsicle stick crafts are easy for even the littlest kids to do. Check them out in the slideshow.
