DIY Popsicle Stick S’mores Craft
Materials
- Free S’mores Craft Pattern
- Jumbo Craft Sticks
- Brown Craft Foam
- Wiggle Eyes
- Acrylic Craft Paint: White, Tan and Pink
- Paintbrush
- Glue Gun and Glue Sticks or Craft Glue
- Scissors
- Ruler

Directions
Step 1
Measure and cut three jumbo craft sticks to five inches long. Cut off the rounded ends in a straight line with scissors.
Step 2
Paint the three popsicle sticks with white paint. These will become the marshmallow.
Allow to dry and apply a second coat, if needed.
Paint the two jumbo craft sticks that have rounded ends with tan paint. These will become the graham crackers.
Let dry and apply a second coat, if needed.
If you don’t want to use paint, you could use washable markers to color the sticks.
Step 3
Once the popsicle sticks are dry, flip over the craft sticks with the painted sides down.
Place the three white craft sticks on top of each other. Then, add a tan craft stick on the top and the bottom of the white popsicle stick marshmallow. Glue together along the edges.
Now, cut two additional jumbo craft sticks to fit along the back of the s’mores. You want the sticks to be perpendicular to the marshmallow and graham cracker craft sticks. Glue down to stabilize the back.
Step 4
Download, print and cut out the popsicle stick s’mores craft pattern.
Trace the melted chocolate pattern piece onto brown craft foam and cut out.
Glue the chocolate to the s’mores between the top graham cracker and the marshmallow.
Step 5
Glue two large wiggle eyes to the marshmallow just under the melted chocolate.
Step 6
Make cheeks by dipping a new pencil eraser into pink acrylic craft paint and stamping on either side the s’mores marshmallow face. Or just paint small circles of paint.
Draw a smile on the s’mores face from cheek to cheek with a black marker.
Finally, add small dots to the top and bottom graham crackers with a black marker.
