5 Things To Do with Popsicle Sticks
Updated: Mar. 20, 2019If your family loves popsicles, you’re going to love the sticks even more. Discover how leftover popsicle sticks can entertain your kids, help your interior decorator and be a quick fix in a minor medical emergency.
Skewer Food for Kids
It’s more fun to eat food if you get to play with it first, as the parents of many picky eaters know. Popsicle sticks are good to have in your bag of tricks at mealtime. Skewer bites of sausage, pineapple, melon and more. Or give kids a stick and have them spread their own peanut butter and jelly.
Mark Your Seedlings
Is that parsley, sage, rosemary or thyme popping up from your garden? Remember what you planted by using popsicle sticks as plant labels. Just write the type of seeds you planted on the stick with an indelible marker.
Keep Track of Paint Colours
You’re out in the garage searching through the cans of leftover paint. Did you paint the living room with a paint called Whipped Cream or Sand? Don’t get mixed up again. After you’ve painted a room, dip a popsicle stick in the can and let it dry. Write the name of the paint and the room where it was used on the stick. Now you’ll know what colour to use when it’s time to repaint. These guides can also help an interior decorator pick out fabrics and decorative items.
