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 blog post was born!

What do vampires, pirates and pink rabbits have in common? They all love Miss Fiona`s pumpkin pie! Join the trick-or-treaters as they creep down past the old cemetery to Miss Fiona`s haunted house for a taste of her secret Halloween recipe. Spooky illustrations enhance this tasty tale of Halloween fun.

The nice thing about today’s Popsicle Stick Pumpkin Pies Kid Craft, not only does it go along perfectly with the mentioned Halloween book above BUT this craft is also great to celebrate Thanksgiving with too {which will be here before you know!}

So what are you waiting for? Grab those bewitching craft supplies and “bake” these stupendous pumpkin pies up today! Happy crafting {and reading} my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per pumpkin pie}
* Orange Paint
* Paint Brush
* School Glue
* Brown Cardstock
* Decorative Orange Scrapbook Paper
* 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 aside.
* Now it’s time for the painting! Have children paint the popsicle sticks 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 “Cool Whip.” Once everything is glued down, set aside to let it ALL dry completely before displaying proudly!
