1. Put together the shape. Use all kinds of sticks to make various shapes - airplanes, houses, trees, furniture and so on.2. Sticks as building materials. If you can collect a lot of popsicle sticks, you can use them as building materials to build a variety of buildings. Stairs, bridges, towers, etc. 3. Popsicle stick puzzles. Lay the popsicle sticks (the flat kind) side by side to form a square or rectangle, and secure one side with tape. Have your child draw a picture on the untaped side or put a picture of the right size on it. Then, remove the tape from the back, break up or cut the popsicle sticks, and let your child put them back together again. 4. Toothpicks and erasers. Insert a number of toothpicks into the eraser (breaking them off is fine) to create interesting shapes. Tables, chairs, benches, small animals (ponies, hedgehogs, etc.), etc., let the child think of it. If you use more than two pieces of rubber, the pattern is more. 5. See who holds more. Put a handful of sticks in the hand, let go, let the sticks randomly scattered on the floor (or table). Take turns picking up the sticks one by one. You can't touch the other sticks while picking them up. If you succeed in picking up one stick, you can move on to the next one. If the other sticks are touched, it's the other person's turn to pick them up. At the end, see who has taken the most. Hint: You can use the sticks you already have as tools (or picks, or ends, or clips) to get other sticks. 6. Guess. This game can be played if the child already has the concept of counting. For example, an adult first takes out 5 sticks and shows them to the child. Then put 5 sticks behind his back, left hand out two sticks to the child, let the child guess how many sticks left in the right hand. Or you can do it the other way around and have the child give the adult a guess.
