Very special crafts can be made using wooden craft sticks (a.k.a. popsicle sticks or lolly sticks), like this ladybug and dragonfly collage. Find a simple picture for your design and color the sticks according to it. Then let your kids arrange and glue the colored sticks on a piece of construction paper. Using other supplies along with craft sticks and combining different techniques can be a good idea. For example, I used also black round stickers, a pipe cleaner and wiggly eyes for this simple project. Wiggly eyes can be easily made out of discarded tablet blister packs, or just purchased at a crafts store.

Thank you!
My 9 year old saw this and exclaimed "Oh! Can You print that?!? I want to copy that! That is SO cool"
So, I've just printed it out... we'll see where this leads :)
Cute ideas. I've included this project in my craft stick activities roundup here: http://productivewahm.com/26-craft-stick-projects-for-every-letter-of-the-alphabet/
