    Are they the colored ones? My DD loves to make art out of them. I have never given her a specific projects with them, just construction paper, glue and markers. They have become stick people, stems for flowers etc.

    Here's a few projects that look cute though!

    We make "puppets" in our classroom with them. Have your DC color any coloring book pictures of basically anything. (A girl, a boy, animals, houses, etc etc) Cut out, attach to the stick, and voila...a puppet! Then they can make a fun puppet show with them. We made adorable squirrel puppets and then sang all our squirrel songs with them- the kids love that kind of stuff!

    You can also make picture frames, jewelry boxes...

    Oriental Trading always has cute crafts that are made out of craft sticks. I am sure you could get some cute ideas from them. I just got a kit that makes a Christmas tree out of them.

    Haha the antlers make that! I love it! Did you color them at all or leave them natural?
