Mayhem (age 2) glued this together all by herself! We just cut appropriate shapes out of felt then glued on beads, bobbles and tiny pom-poms.


Snowman Magnets. 

We glued it all to a craft/popsicle stick with hot glue, then hot glued a craft safety pin to the back of the stick. Moms will wear them with pride :-) For more Snowman Crafts click here.

Here's another lapel pin made from a peanut or how about safety pin jewelry.

Thanksgiving: Turkey and American Indian Craft Popsicle Sticks for Preschoolers

These Turkey and Native American Indian Stick Puppets are so simple and fun to make they are perfect for preschoolers. 

We always have construction paper and popsicle sticks. So, for Thanksgiving, I grabbed a bag of craft feathers and we started creating. The plan was to make Wampanoag Indians to celebrate the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth. The feathers begged to become a turkey. Afterward, we pretended they were puppets and made a holiday play.

We made snowmen and reindeer too. Run to Joann's and buy a bag of fall-colored feathers. Use colored craft sticks or recycle Popsicle sticks. Tacky glue works great. Construction paper, mini-googly eyes, and the smallest pom poms ever!

Trace a small kid's cup for the head and turkey's body. Then glue on extras as appropriate. It's so simple and lends itself to creativity.
