I have an enormous collection of craft sticks in amongst my supplies collection. I keep buying them because I know there are tons of cool things you can make with them. Things like picture frames, fairy castles and mini lid banjos, but somehow they usually remain hidden away in the cupboard. It’s like they’re waiting for someone to open the door so they can come out and play!

Well here is a quick and easy way to use up some of those craft sticks โ€“ bird puppets.

    Iโ€™m basically a big kid who never grew up and still loves to muck around with paint, glitter, glue and toilet rolls. With the crafts shared here on this website Iโ€™m hoping to give other parents and carers inspiration to get crafty with their kids at home โ€“ make our projects, or use them as a source of inspiration to spark ideas of your own. When it comes to crafting no rules apply!
