We’re going to make an “A is for Alien” craft that’s not only fun but also a fantastic way to combine learning with play.Â
This craft is a perfect way to help with letter recognition and enhances fine motor skills. Plus, it’s a great way to bring a little bit of that magical Disney vibe into your crafting time. I don’t know about you, but I’m always trying to find excuses to add in an element of Disney.Â
This craft is fun to do for:
- A rainy day activity

- Family movie nights
Step-by-Step Guide To “A” is for Alien Craft
Below, find the exact steps for you and your kids to make your own Toy Story aliens!
Makes 2 aliens
Materials Needed:
- 5 green craft sticks
- 6 googly eyes
- Green construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue
Instructions:
Cut one of the green craft sticks in half. Create a letter A by gluing two full-size craft sticks together at the top to form an upside-down V shape. Glue one of the stick halves in the center of the V to form a capital A.
Glue three googly eyes along the center of each A.
Cut two antennae shapes out of the green construction paper.
Attach the antennae to the top of each letter “A”.
And there you have it! Your very own popsicle stick aliens! Super simple and fun, right!?
Benefits From Crafting Little Aliens
Even though this little project is about working with glue sticks and googly eyes, it’s also a hands-on way to help your kiddos learn the alphabet—specifically the letter “A.”
Here are the top ways this craft can turn into a learning experience:
- It’ll help your kid learn the alphabet. As you craft the alien, try talking about words that start with ‘A’, and even create a little story around the alien’s adventures.Â
- Another educational perk is that assembling the alien enhances creativity. Don’t feel like you have to stick strictly to the instructions. Let your kids think outside the box!
- Handling small items like alien eyes and applying a black marker for details requires precise movements, which are excellent for developing fine motor skills.Â
It’s educational, engaging, and, most importantly, super fun!

No worries! Make eyes from construction paper or use a black sparkle foam paper for a fun touch. It’s a creative solution that adds unique character to your alien. You can also use a glue stick to glue them on.
Can I use different colors for my alien?
Definitely! Feel free to use any colors you like. Incorporating colors from your favorite Toy Story movies can add a personal Disney twist to your craft.
How long does it take to complete this craft?
This quick and easy craft typically takes about 20-30 minutes, perfect for a family movie night or a Disney-themed party activity. If you want to make it longer, then coloring the popsicle sticks or bedazzling them with glitter and other fun things might help stretching the time.
