Summer is here, and what better way to celebrate than with some fun DIY projects with your little ones? We found this adorable Free Printable Popsicle Template from Simple Mom Project that we just had to share with you all.
How to Make Your Own Popsicle Template
First things first, you’ll need the template. Simply click here to download and print it out.
Once you have your template, it’s time to get creative! We suggest using colored cardstock paper to make your popsicles more durable. Cut out the popsicle shapes, and set them aside.
Decorating Your Popsicles
Now comes the fun part - decorating! Here are a few ideas to get you started:
1. Paint
Grab some paint and let your little ones go wild! Finger painting or using a paintbrush will both work great. You could even add glitter to make your popsicles sparkle.
2. Stickers
If you have any stickers lying around, they’re perfect for decorating popsicles. Your kids can choose from a variety of shapes, colors, and designs to create their own unique masterpiece.
3. Markers
Using markers is another great way to let your kids’ creativity shine. They can draw their favorite fruits, add fun patterns, or even write their names.
Putting it All Together
Once your popsicles are fully decorated, it’s time to assemble them. Using a glue stick or tape, attach a wooden or paper stick to the back of each popsicle. You can usually find these at your local craft store, or even at some dollar stores.
