How to Make a Popsicle Stick Pineapple
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather your supplies. Get your sticks, paints, felt, eyes, and tools ready for some tropical fun.
Step 2: Build the Pineapple Base
Make the pineapple base by lining up five jumbo craft sticks side by side. Trim two more sticks to fit horizontally across the back and glue them in place to hold everything together.
Step 3: Paint It Yellow
Paint the front of the pineapple bright yellow. Let it dry, then add a second coat if needed for a rich color.
Step 4: Add the Diamond Pattern
Using gold paint, make diagonal lines across the yellow to form a diamond pattern. Let dry.
Step 5: Add Eyes and Cheeks
Glue on two wiggle eyes near the top center.
Dip a sponge dabber into pink paint and stamp cheeks on each side of the eyes.
Step 6: Trace the Leaves
Trace the pineapple leaf patterns onto olive green and dark green felt, or trace your child’s hands for a playful twist.
Step 7: Cut Out the Leaves
Cut out the felt leaves.
Step 8: Attach the Leaves
Glue the leaves to the top back of the pineapple.
Step 9: Draw a Smile
Flip your pineapple over and draw a smile from cheek to cheek with the black marker.
All done!
Your sunny pineapple buddy is ready to show off!
