Instructions
- Gather all supplies. To create each pineapple, line up five jumbo craft sticks on your work surface. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of the pineapple and attach with a glue gun and glue sticks. TIP: You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
- Basecoat the pineapples with bright yellow acrylic craft paint. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary. Use washable markers, crayon, or even colored pencil to color the jumbo craft sticks.
- Paint diagonal lines with gold acrylic craft paint to create a diamond pattern on each pineapple. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary.
- Attach two wiggle eyes with a glue gun and glue sticks. Create cheeks by dipping a sponge dabber into pink acrylic craft paint and stamping on both sides of the pineapple.
- Download, print, and cut out the pineapple leaf patterns. Trace leaf patterns onto olive green and dark green craft felt. TIP: Trace your child’s hands to create the pineapple leaves.
- Cut out the pineapple leaf patterns with scissors.
- Flip the pineapples over and attach the leaves with a glue gun and glue sticks.
- To finish, draw a smile from cheek to cheek with a black marker.
