Popsicle Stick Puzzles

Here's a simple and fun project to keep little ones, and big ones amused - for a few minutes anyway.  Only a few supplies are needed - popsicle sticks, markers, paper (for a pre-drawing) glue and cardboard (if you wish to make a frame) 


 Even a very simple line drawing can create a challenging puzzle.  



It's a good idea to take 4 popsicle sticks and glue them down on a piece of cardboard or matte board to act as a frame that holds the remaining popsicle sticks in place while drawing on them. 

We put our ideas down on paper first before drawing on the sticks.






















Hmmmmm... that's puzzling :)




It was quite fun to put together each puzzle as they were finished. I did them all and I have to say that this was the most challenging puzzle of the day.
