Instructions:
1.Gather all supplies. Measure and cut three (3) jumbo craft sticks to five inches long, trimming the rounded ends with scissors.
2. Basecoat the three trimmed jumbo craft sticks with white acrylic craft paint. These will be used to make the marshmallow. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary.
3. Basecoat two jumbo craft sticks with tan acrylic craft paint, for the graham crackers. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary. You can use washable markers, crayon, or even colored pencil to color the jumbo craft sticks.
4. Once dry, flip over the craft sticks on your work surface. Dry fit them with the three white craft sticks in the center and a tan craft stick on the top and the bottom. Assemble the craft stick S’more by cutting down additional jumbo craft sticks and attaching them to the back of the S’more stack with a glue gun and hot glue.
5. Download, print, and cut out the pattern. Trace the melted chocolate onto brown craft foam with a pencil and cut out with scissors. Attach to the S’mores between the top graham cracker and the marshmallow with hot glue.
6. Hot glue two large googly eyes to the marshmallow, just under the melted chocolate. You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
7. Create cheeks by dipping a new pencil eraser into pink acrylic craft paint and stamping on either side the S’mores marshmallow face.
8. Draw a smile on each craft stick S’mores face, from cheek to cheek, with a washable black marker. To finish, add dots to the top and bottom graham crackers with a washable black marker.
Tips and Tricks:
- Giving young children a chance to practice with scissors is a great way to help develop fine motor skills.
- When making the chocolate, substitute the craft foam for construction paper instead.
- Let the kids create their own fire pit to go with their yummy S’mores using this craft stick campfire craft.
- Make a 3D version of this simple S’mores craft. For the S’mores ingredients, cut a piece of cardboard into squares. Add dots to two cardboard squares for the graham crackers. Paint one square brown, for the chocolate bar. Use cotton balls for the marshmallows. The pieces can then be glued together or left separate for added imaginative play.
