Christmas is all about decorations, and with these mess-free guidelines, you can set up a simple indoor project for your kid. Just help glue the popsicle sticks together, and let your kids decorate the mugs however they like! 

Bring the whole family together with these hot cocoa creations, and maybe even have some real hot cocoa on the side. I prefer them with lots of marshmallows!

2. Run a line of hot glue the entire length of a small popsicle stick and press it onto one end of the 7 sticks (it should be perpendicular to the 7 sticks). Repeat with another small popsicle stick and press it on the other end.

3. Flip the newly made board over and lightly trace out a half circle section at the top for the cocoa section using a pencil.

4. Paint the section below the half circle with a color of your choice. This will be your mug. We chose red because it’s Christmas!

5. Cut a handle shape out of the cardboard and paint it the same color as the mug. When both are dry, attach the handle to the mug from the back using hot glue.
