Create these adorable Arctic Animals animals – Moose, Polar Bear, Penguin and a Walrus! Try this Arctic Animals Popsicle Stick Craft today!

Arctic Animals Popsicle Stick Craft

Learn about arctic animals with this fun popsicle stick craft for the kids! For this craft, I’ll show you how to create a moose, polar bear, penguin, and a walrus using popsicle sticks, craft paint, wiggly eyes, and more!

Arctic animals are really exciting to learn about because they live in a unique environment — mostly in cold temperatures with snow and ice! Of course we may see these animals in the zoo, but it’s really important to learn about their natural habitats and how and why these animals survive and thrive in this kind of environment.
