Witch Craft Stick Project
If you're looking for a Halloween craft that’s cute-but-spooky (and doesn’t involve scraping glitter out of your carpet for the next decade), meet your new bestie: the popsicle stick witch.
She’s green. She’s grumpy. She’s got yarn hair and a fabulous hat. Basically, she’s the perfect combination of classic Halloween vibes and preschooler-approved silliness. And yes, she’s rocking a mole…because commitment to character design matters.
What You'll Need for This Witch Popsicle Stick Craft
- Green popsicle sticks
- Googly eyes
- Colored paper (yellow and black)
- Yarn
- Pen
- Scissors
- Glue gun and glue sticks
Prep your table, accept that stray yarn will end up in your coffee, and let’s get started.

Witch Craft Stick Project
This popsicle stick witch craft is a spooky-cute Halloween activity for kids! A fun, easy project using popsicle sticks, yarn, and paper—perfect for classroom or home.
Materials
- Green popsicle sticks
- Googly eyes
- Yellow construction paper
- Black construction paper
- Orange yarn
- Pen
- Glue gun and glue sticks
Tools
- Scissors
Instructions
- Gather your supplies.
- Line up seven popsicle sticks side by side to make the base of your witch’s face. Break an extra stick in half and glue those halves horizontally across the back to hold everything together.
- Cut out the witch hat and hat band from black and yellow paper. Pro tip: no two hats ever turn out the same, and that’s the charm. Lean into it.
- Glue on the hat and googly eyes. If you're going for drama, use oversized eyes. No one wants a low-effort witch.
- Use a pen to draw a nose, a smirking mouth, and—of course—a classic witchy mole. Bonus points if you give her eyebrows with attitude.
- Cut yarn into strands and glue them to the back of the popsicle base to create messy, magical hair. (Frizz = power in this case.)
- Take a step back and admire your spooky green queen. She’s ready to ride off into your Halloween display.

What to Do with Your Witch (Besides Admire Her Sass)
You didn’t just glue together some sticks, you summoned a craft with personality. Now here’s how to make the most of her:
1. Halloween bulletin board star: Make a coven of popsicle witches in different colors and hang them up for instant seasonal decor. Add names if your kids want to personalize them (I suggest “Witch Hazel” and “Granny Grump”).
2. Story prompt fun: Ask your kids to write a short story about their witch – Where does she live? What spells does she cast? What’s her cat’s name? (It’s probably “Meowgic.”)
3. Use it as a puppet: Tape a stick to the back and your witch is suddenly the main character in a spooky puppet show. Bonus if there are sound effects.
4. Craft & snack combo: Pair this activity with a themed Halloween treat like monster apples or ghostly bananas. Because nothing keeps little hands out of the glue like snacks.
