PAIR YOUR PUMPKIN CRAFT WITH —> Handprint Pumpkin Keepsake – Kid Craft

Popsicle Stick Pumpkin Craft Supplies:

• Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {9 per pumpkin craft}
• School Glue
• Orange Craft Paint
• Brown Craft Paint
• Paint Brushes {one large, one small}
• Paper Scissors
• Brown Colored Cardstock Paper
• Decorative Plastic Leaf

Directions:

• First you will want to assemble the base of your pumpkins. For each pumpkin, simply glue seven jumbo popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {seven laid next to each other with two across}
• Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each pumpkin you want to make.
• Now you are ready for the paint! Squirt the orange and brown craft paint on the paper plate.
• Have children take their orange craft paint and paint the front of the popsicle stick fence completely orange.
• Have them also add a few lines of brown for some dimension.
• To finish off the Popsicle Stick Pumpkins – cut out a pumpkin stem from the brown and glue it to the top. Follow that up with a decorate green leaf for the stem.
• Then set it all aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.
• Don’t forget to snap a few pictures to share with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

Make It Your Own: if desired, you can add some Jack-O-Lantern features to the front or let kids add other embellishments like glitter, rhinestones, feathers etc. to really give it a customized look!

For Displaying – the finished pieces stand pretty nice when leaned against something but you can also add some ribbon to the back to hang it OR add magnets so you can display them on the fridge!
