Are you looking for stay-at-home activity ideas to do with the kids? Get creative and try re-using Chapman’s Lolly, Canadian Collection and Super Ice Cream sticks in these five kid friendly #ChapmansCrafts! These eco-conscious crafts are also great for re-using scrap craft materials you already have around the house.
#3 – Picture Frame
Paint these Super ice cream sticks with fun patterns, decorate them with buttons or stickers, or leave them au naturel. You can stack multiple layers of sticks for a fun 3-D look! Instead of propping the tabletop frame up with sticks, add a magnet on the back to turn this into a magnetic refrigerator frame.
#2 – Mini Flowerpot
What a great way for your kids to watch their very own plant grow, in a flowerpot they designed themselves! Wrap an old plastic Play-Doh container with a rectangle piece of felt (long enough to wrap around the container), gluing it down as you go. Glue on your painted Canadian Collection ice cream sticks and small rocks or gems, creating a pattern around the body of the pot.
#1 – Butterfly
Cut out the shape of butterfly wings from a felt or foam sheet and glue it on top of the Canadian Collection stick to complete your insect’s body. The sticks from our Canadian Collection have unique proportions to add dimension to your butterfly’s body. Add antenna and other decorative items of your choice. This is a great craft to re-use scrap pieces of ribbon, pipe cleaners, felt, etc. For an added element of fun, glue two googly eyes on your colourful butterfly – totally bugging out!
