Last week we read the story, “Not a Stick” and sang a song using sticks.  (blog post, “Surprise Storytime!)

Were you able to find some sticks around your neighbourhood or yard?  It has been windy the last few days and I was able to collect quite a few.

Here are a few ideas of what you can do with sticks.

Can you use them to make a home for some animals, bugs or people?

Maybe you can try decorating a stick with paint, crayons or felts!

 

Add some ribbons and string to make a magic stick for dancing.

 

What can your stick become?  Place it on a piece of paper and use it to draw a picture using the stick.  My stick became the body of a butterfly!

Look at the sticks that you have collected.  What shape is the stick, is it long, short, bumpy?

What colour is the bark?  What tree did it come from?  Can we build something using the sticks?

I wonder what YOU can create with sticks?
