Wooden Craft Stick

Wooden craft sticks are flat, smooth birch or beech sticks used as handles for frozen treats and small food projects. They are splinter-free and food-contact safe when labeled, with a pale wood color and slightly rounded ends. They withstand freezing and brief moisture without warping, and are commonly sold in 4.5-inch and 6-inch lengths in plain or colored packs. Not an edible ingredient; used as a tool in preparation and serving.

They became standard with early twentieth-century ice pop production and spread through North American frozen novelty makers. Manufacturers typically kiln-dry and sand the sticks for smoothness and consistent size.
