Craft Stick Puzzles are a great learning tool for little ones and are lots of fun. They are also lots of fun to make! These DIY wooden puzzles are adorable and are so easy and inexpensive to make! The little ones can even help create their own picture puzzles! An easy and fun popsicle sticks craft your kids will go crazy for.
I’m making a set of ABC Picture Puzzles using jumbo wood craft sticks and markers. I know they’ll be perfect for teaching the alphabet and will make learning fun! My daughter absolutely loves making puzzles, so I know she will love these! An easy popsicle sticks craft for kids that they can use over and over again.
Craft Stick Puzzle
Supplies for Craft Stick Puzzle:
- Jumbo Wood Craft Sticks (7 Makes An Almost Perfect Square Picture Puzzle)
- Colorful Markers
- Masking Tape
Instructions for Craft Stick Puzzle:
These Picture Puzzles could not be any easier to make!
Begin by taping the jumbo craft sticks together with masking tape as shown.
Turn the taped together square over and draw/color a picture directly onto the sticks. Make sure that there is a portion of the picture on each stick (this will make putting it together easier for little ones).
Remove the tape from the backside and mix the sticks up for the picture puzzle to be put back together! Children will have fun putting the puzzle together over and over again. When puzzles are not being played with, simply wrap a rubber band around each one and store.
These picture puzzles could be made in many different themes for teaching young children about letters, shapes, animals and so much more. They can also be used to teach problem-solving skills as well as coordination.

Popsicles Stick Craft – That Enhances Learning
If you aren’t an artist, you can use stencils to create the pictures. It’s lots of fun to let kids make their own puzzles as well. Even older children can have lots of fun making picture puzzles! This is a great way to enhance your child’s knowledge, have fun and find a creative popsicle craft that is easy and affordable to do.
