Instructions

1. Flatten your cupcake case and fold in half to create your ballerina skirt.

2. Glue the skirt onto the paddle pop stick.

3. Twist one pipe cleaner around the middle of the paddle pop stick to create arms.

4. Add pipe cleaner hair to the top of the paddle pop stick. I cut the end of black pipe cleaner and crinkled it to look like a top bun.

5. Glue a bow to the top of the hair.

6. Use the markers to draw a face and ballet shoes.

Make a few ballerinas and create a dance routine with music. So much fun to make and play with afterwards.
