    Popsicle stick ballerinas

    Get your ballerina craft on with these tiny dancers made out of popsicle sticks and cupcake wrappers.

    What you need:

    • 1 x popsicle stick
    • 1 x cupcake wrapper
    • 1 x pipe cleaner (trimmed to 12cm)
    • small piece of string or ribbon (for the bow)
    • black marker pen
    • red marker pen
    • glue
    • scissors

    Number of players:

    Activity:


    Fold the cupcake wrapper in half and flatten it out.

    Glue the flattened wrapper onto the popsicle stick: leave enough space for legs at the bottom and for a body at the top.

    Now get your pipe cleaner and twist it into place for the arms (see video).

    Draw on some feet, eyes, a mouth and hair.

    Tie a small bow in the piece of string. Glue it to the top of the ballerina’s head.

    Your tiny dancer is ready to dance.
