Procure the base

Take plain white paper as the base of the popsicle card.

Draw the elements

Draw 6 large rectangular shapes, 3 smaller, narrower rectangular shapes, 3 ice cream 'frost' shapes (the rounded top of the popsicle).

Paint the base

Use Rangeela Tempera Pastel Colours and a thin brush to paint all the shapes with vibrant colours. Let them dry.

Assemble the Slider

Take four large rectangular cutouts. Stick them together using Fevicol MR only along their borders, leaving a clear channel/gap in the middle. This creates the slider track.

Create the Base

Stick large rectangular cutouts to the stick using Fevicol MR. Stick the frosting shapes on top.

Insert the Slider

Write your Father's Day greeting. Take the Fevicol MR and stick the googly eyes on the sliders. Now, insert the assembled popsicle stick into the slider track you made.
