The first week of school can make us ALL a little nervous, so as the first day of school approaches, let’s empower our kiddos with confidence and with back to school superpowers! These fun little stick superheroes are a great way to ease into a new routine and get excited about new friends, teachers and activities.
Materials
• Construction paper – a variety of colors
• Popsicle sticks – bonus if you can find colored sticks
• School glue
• Craft scissors
• Markers
Directions
1) Start by preparing your pieces: capes, faces and masks
• Cut triangle shapes for the cape. Size will vary based on the size of your sticks.
• Cut circle shapes for the head (we used a medicine cup for tracing).
• Cut small rectangles for the mask.
2) Glue the rectangle to the face circle
3) Glue the “cape” triangle to the back of the stick
4) Glue the “face” circle to the front/top then the mask on top
5) Add extra embellishments of your choosing: Try a chest “logo” with letters for their initials or spell out names. Add rhinestone, glitter glue or felt for added sparkle (and powers!).
Here are some fun way to use your superheroes:
• Make one for your teacher and bring on the first day of school
• Make one for a close friend or crossing guard
• Make a set for your family
• Incorporate them into table decor for your first day of school breakfast table
• Use it as a bookmark
