How Do You Make Popsicle Stick Dog Sleds?
Most kids love to make things with their hands. A Popsicle stick dog sled is fun and easy to make. For those winter days when the kids can’t go outside, making crafts is a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. Keep Popsicle sticks on hand for craft days. Lay newspaper out on the table so glue and paint does not get on the surface. Paint the Popsicle sticks the color of your choice. Paint two pieces a different color from the rest. Paint the back and edges of all the sticks. Let them dry completely–from 30 minutes to overnight. Cut a Popsicle stick in half. Glue two full-length Popsicle sticks beneath the two shorter sticks at the midway point for the runners. Position the shorter Popsicle sticks on top of the runners. Glue four Popsicle sticks perpendicular to the shorter ones for the bed of the dog sled. Make the backrest of the bed using the same method. Cut four Popsicle sticks in half. Lay the two shorter Popsicle sticks around an inch apart. Glue five shorter sticks between them.
