Crows are often associated with fall and Halloween. These popsicle stick crows are a fun seasonal project for kids of all ages! Craft stick puppets are great for imaginative play, and these cuties can also be worked into your seasonal decor.
Why we love this project
I love craft stick projects. It’s amazing how many possibilities there are for such an ordinary item! After these popsicle stick crows are done you can put on a puppet show, they will also look cute tucked into your houseplants.
Using these instructions as a starting point, there are endless possible variations! There are infinite ways you can use assorted scraps and embellishments to give each puppet its own personality. If you enjoy this project, you’ll probably like these craft stick monsters too!
What you will need to make popsicle stick crows
Find the full printable instructions and materials list at the end of this post.
- Jumbo craft sticks
- Black paint
- Googly eyes
- Black feathers
- Yellow card stock or construction paper
- Embellishments: scrapbook paper, bandana or fabric scrap, little straw hat
- Tools: white craft glue, scissors, paintbrush
For the embellishments, you can make simple bows from scrapbook paper to use as hair bows (for girl crows) or bow ties for boys. The little straw hats can be found at your local craft store. I also used a bandana, which I cut down to a small square. Fabric scraps work great too!
How to make Popsicle Stick Crows
- Paint the popsicle sticks on both sides using the black paint. Allow to dry.
- Cut beaks from yellow cardstock. Then, attach eyes and beaks with white craft glue. Attach embellishments such as bows.
- If using a hat, be sure to put it on first as your googly eyes will need to be positioned farther down than the crows that are not wearing a hat.
- Add some glue inside the hat and insert the stick. It will take some time to dry, so be patient! Alternatively, a grown-up can use hot glue to make the hat stick immediately.
