We’re having some cowboy fun this week and pulled together a quick cactus craft after rounding up some cucumbers, toothpicks, and tissue paper. It was so very easy and cute too {and there may have been some cucumber nibbling going on behind the scenes}.
We pulled out three cucumbers and a butter knife and Kaleb had fun cutting them different lengths.
I cut a bunch of toothpicks in half and Kaleb went to town poking them into the cucumber chunks. We sprinkled cornmeal around the inside of the pan that we were working in to look like desert sand.
Kaleb then stick small pieces of tissue paper on the toothpicks to make ‘flowers’ on the cactus.
Super quick and easy craft to put together and once we pulled the toothpicks out and rinsed them off ~ a yummy snack too. :)

Love the cucumber cactus idea. We’ll do that this week!
Cute idea! Wonder if I could do this with pickles instead? I just can’t stand the smell of cucumbers lol
I’m sure you could! Now that’s interesting – you don’t like the smell of cucumbers, but can do pickles?
