This is a fun Popsicle Stick Pencil Holder Craft you can do for teacher appreciation day. My 10 year old came up with this and did it by himself!

Back to School Popsicle Stick Pencil Craft for Teachers

I am always amazed by my 10 year old’s creativity, but he really impressed me the other day. He met his new teacher this past week and was excited saying that she seemed like a lot of fun. He asked me if we could make her something fun (with food of course). I said sure, but we would have to wait until Sunday. While he was waiting, he got impatient and created this pencil holder (totally by himself) by cutting/coloring Popsicle sticks (you can get them at any craft store including Michaels, etc..) and then gluing them to a jar. Even the chalkboard he made from sticks using chalkboard paint. I was shocked that he thought of this and it turned out SO cute!! I am such a proud mom.

He cut the tips of Popsicle sticks using scissors & then colored both sides with markers…

He cut off the ends from 2 large blue sticks for the chalk board & glued them together. Then he used chalkboard paint for the inside. Made 2 holes at the top corners & added twine to hand on one of the pencil sticks.

Here he is with his Pencil Holder. His teacher loved it. He forgot to tell her that he created this himself. It looks so good that I bet she thought that he bought it or that I created it. I hope he ends up telling her that it’s created by him…that just makes it so much more special!
