What to Do
Begin by hot gluing your popsicle sticks together to make a snowflake. We used four sticks but you could use more if you’d like. Just put a little dab on the middle and gently press the sticks together, continuing this until you’ve attached all four (or more) popsicle sticks.
Next, paint your popsicle sticks. Once dry, set them out along with the glue and gems or buttons and invite your child to decorate their popsicle stick snowflakes.
You could also paint the sticks first and then glue them together.

We all had a blast making these mini wintery popsicle stick snowflakes!
The glitter glue and gems were a great addition but you could decorate the popsicle stick snowflakes with anything that you have at home, such as:
- Bits of construction paper
- Buttons
- Scrap fabric
- Magazine cuttings
- Small pebbles or stones
- Tissue paper
- Stickers
You could also prep this craft ahead of time by gluing all the snowflakes together or even painting them ahead of time as well. This would make a great group project because it’s just so simple and fun.
