Popsicle Stick Puzzles

This is a very easy craft that kids can make, as well. It would make a great father’s/mother’s day gift. You can even make stick puzzles by cutting a family photo into small strips, then gluing it to the sticks.

You can use popsicle stick puzzles to practice number and letter recognition and to teach ESL in a fun, enjoyable way.

What you need: popsicle sticks (the large ones are easier to draw on), watercolor pencils (or acrylic paint), foam numbers and letters (optional – they can be drawn on/painted).
