Today I am sharing a collection of popsicle stick animals. There are tons of kids crafts that can be made with icicle sticks (or lolly sticks). I hope you will be inspired to make your own crafty animals and enjoy playing or displaying them. These are great for cheap and mess-free dollar store crafts and a good creative day with the little ones even toddlers and kindergartners.

These look really cute. One question – What do you use to keep the sticks together?
Thank you! 🙂 I used white glue. Some call it school glue or even crafts glue. You can find it at dollar store in kids stationary aisle. I hope this helps!
this is so perfect. if i may ask , what do you call that material that you use for whiskers or hair? thanks 🙂
Pipe cleaners.. 🙂
Is there any way you can do a turtle with the popsicle sticks? I can’t figure it out 🙁
That would look cute! I’ll like to give it a try and see how it goes.. 🙂
