Looking for a fun craft activity for kids? Have a go at making your own craft sticks with VELCRO® Brand Stick On Coins!
They're super quick and easy to make and young children will have hours of fun sticking them together to create different shapes!
What you need
- VELCRO® Brand Stick On Coins
- Wooden lolly sticks (we used these pre-painted ones from Hobbycraft)
What to do
Start with some wooden lolly sticks - you can either buy a pack of pre-painted ones from Hobbycraft or recycle some actual lolly sticks (although you'll need to eat a LOT of ice lollies to get enough for this craft!)
Next, take a pack of VELCRO® Brand Stick On Coins. There are 16 coins per pack so if you want to be able to make more elaborate creations with lots of sticks, you may need a couple of packs.
Stick the loop side (i.e. the soft side) of each set of coins at one end of each stick.
Then stick the hook side (i.e. the scratchy side) of each coin at the other end of the stick. Remember to leave the adhesive to set for an hour before giving the craft sticks to your child!
And that's it! Your VELCRO® Brand craft sticks are ready for play! Make as many as you like to spark your child's imagination and encourage them to make more elaborate creations!
