All you need is popsicle sticks, craft foam or cardboard and paints or markers to make this fun park bench craft!
This fun and easy Popsicle Stick Park Bench project lets you make a cute little park bench using ordinary popsicle / craft sticks.
This craft is great for elementary age kids who can create the craft from start to finish by themselves.
For a preschool craft, you can cut out the foam or cardboard pieces for them. Then they can color the craft sticks themselves and push them into the foam frame.
This is great fine motor skills project for little ones and a construction skill builder for older kids.
Make a Popsicle Stick Park Bench Craft
Supplies:
6 popsicle/craft sticks
markers or paint
one sheet of craft foam or medium-weight cardboard
scissors
Color the sticks any colors you would like using either markers or paints. While they are drying, cut the sides of the bench out of the foam or cardboard using our free printable pattern.
Then simply slide the popsicle sticks into the holes of the bench sides, making sure to line each one up with the hole on the opposite side.
