Colorful Popsicle Sticks

Coloured craft sticks are such an amazing manipulative that work for a differentiated set of ages. 

A simple activity for a toddler or preschoolers would be to trace the popsicle sticks in different colors (make sure the same colors as the popsicle sticks) on a sheet of paper. 

Then, match the popsicle sticks to the correct traced colors. 

This is a classic and very easy colored craft sticks setup for learning about colors. 

This set of kids crafts with popsicle sticks can also be a form of art if used with Elmers glue! 

Glue the craft sticks after or while matching them and keep the sheet as a wonderful keepsake thereafter! 🙂 

I hope that you enjoyed these activities with craft sticks.
