Pumpkin Pie Slices Made From Popsicle Sticks
Last week while I was browsing the aisles of my local Barnes and Noble {which I do more than I should} I came across the children’s book Miss Fiona’s Stupendous Pumpkin Pies in the Halloween section.
After looking through the pages and reading the poems, it instantly dawned on me to do a kid craft in honor – hence how today’s pumpkin pie themed blog post was born!

It’s time to get crafty! Create a pumpkin pie slice masterpiece using some popsicle sticks, glue, and a little bit of imagination – you won’t believe the results!
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
- Orange Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- School Glue
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- Orange Scrapbook Paper
- Paper Craft Scissors
- White Cotton Balls
Directions:
- Grab three popsicle sticks and glue them together to look like a triangle.
- Set aside to let them dry completely.
- Once dry, go ahead and trace the popsicle stick design on some scrapbook paper, to make the inner part of the pumpkin pie {trim it down slightly to be a smaller triangle than your popsicle sticks}
- Set it aside.
- Now it’s time for the painting! Squirt some paint on a paper plate.
- Have children paint the popsicle stick triangle shape completely orange.
- Grab the scrapbook paper cutout and glue it onto the triangular design.
- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Pumpkin Pies– cut a strip of brown cardstock to look like the crust of the pie and glue it to one side of the triangle shape.
- Now grab a cotton ball and glue it to the center of the triangular design for the “whipped topping.”
- Once everything is glued down, set aside to let it ALL dry completely before displaying proudly!
