How to Make a Popsicle Stick Pineapple
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather your supplies. Line up your paints, popsicle sticks, marker, brush, and glue — everything you need to make a sweet little pineapple buddy.
Step 2: Paint the Sticks
Paint five sticks yellow and three half sticks green. Let them dry completely (this is a good time for a snack break).
Step 3: Build the Pineapple Body
Once dry, line up the five yellow sticks side by side to form the pineapple body. Glue two extra sticks horizontally across the back to hold them together.
Step 4: Draw the Pattern
Use the brown marker to draw a criss-cross diamond pattern across the yellow sticks, adding little dots inside each diamond. Suddenly, it starts to look like pineapple skin!
Step 5: Add the Leafy Crown
Flip your pineapple and glue the three green half sticks at the top for leafy crown. You can angle them however you like for a spiky effect.
All done!
Let the glue set, then hold up your bright, happy pineapple. It’s ready for summer fun!
