Directions:

  • Set aside again, to let it dry completely.
  • While that is drying, grab your orange cardstock and cut a triangular shape that will be placed within the popsicle stick design.
  • At this time, you should also cut out other jack-o-lantern features from the remaining cardstock paper, such as a stem/leaf for on top.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Jack-O-Lanterns – have children glue on their cardstock pieces to the popsicle stick shape.
  • Use the Sharpie marker to draw on facial features in the center of the craft.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
