::: make it irresistible – make pop stick fences
We made little fences to be used by the children in imaginative play. We picked up the pop sticks from Reverse Art Truck and using our trusty hot glue gun, put them together.
The beauty of a hot glue gun is, the glue dries almost instantly.
In order to create strength we ran a pop sick either side of the pickets.
To add interest we positioned the pickets at different heights and angles.
By leaving the pickets longer at the bottom they will stand up easier in sand, tanbark, playdough, etc.,

What a great prop for open-ended play. I’m contemplating letting my older kids make them for the younger kids to paint.
Okay but be warned Tom … not only is the glue hot but the children will really dislike getting tangled up in all that glue string! Let us know how it goes.
LoL, I love this! May I humbly add a tip about hot glue burns? There are low temp hot glue sticks and you can keep a small bowl or cup of icy water near you as you work….
Dip in and continue working…..
Hope it helps.
Thanks for for tip Barbra … I hope Tom sees this!
