Activity of the Day

DIY Phone Stand

Things You’ll Need:

  • Popsicle sticks

  • Clothespins

  • Glue gun (adult supervision required)

  • Marker

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Arrange 8 popsicle sticks in a row to form the base.

  2. This part’s for the grownups - use the glue gun to secure the sticks. Kids, you can help plan the layout!

  3. Glue two clothespins upright at either end of the base. These will hold your phone.

  4. Kids should watch closely here; handling the glue gun is for adults.

  5. Insert a popsicle stick into the clips of the clothespins. This bar keeps the phone from sliding off.

  6. Glue another clothespin on top of each original clothespin to make the stand taller. Again, adults handle the glue, and kids can help position the pieces.

  7. Attach 2-3 popsicle sticks horizontally across the top clothespins. These will support the phone.

  8. Kids, you can help press and hold the sticks in place while they dry - but be careful! The glue is HOT!

Pro Tip:

Glue gun is preferred to make the craft more sturdy but you can use any type of glue you have at home. This way, your little ones can take full control of the activity!
