Popsicle Stick Jack-O-Lantern Ballerinas

There’s NOTHING scary about today’s dancing Jack-O-Lantern Ballerinas kid craft tutorial! Trust us – you don’t want to miss out on this fun Halloween art project idea! Keep scrolling for the full how-to, that even the littlest kids can join in on the fun!

Popsicle Stick Jack-O-Lantern Ballerinas

Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Ballerina Puppet

Let’s dance to a spook-tacular beat, with today’s latest and greatest Halloween kids craft idea from Glued To My Crafts! I’m always trying my best to brainstorm new and “first seen here” ideas for our website, so I really hope you like this latest idea from me! It’s the perfect excuse to get crafty AND host a puppet show, as a family together!

On that note – you are in for a wickedly good time today if you decide to do this particular tutorial with your little one! For this jack-o-lantern themed art project, all you need is wood craft sticks, craft paint, cardstock paper, a pipe cleaner, school glue and a single cupcake liner for a tutu. Super inexpensive materials! We made it extra easy peasy on your wallet!

So if you want to shake up your Halloween plans and make something extra unique with your little crafter today, look no further because we have the FULL tutorial for these #cutenotscary Popsicle Stick Jack-O-Lantern Ballerinas below!

Keep in mind, this could also be a NEW tradition in place of carving pumpkins on Halloween night! You could leave these finished Halloween pumpkin ballerinas in small flower pots or random places on your front porch, instead! Just trying to get you to think outside the box this season 🙂

Happy crafting, my dear friends and I can’t wait to see your dancing jack-o-lantern creations. You can always tag us on Facebook or use our special branded #gluedtomycrafts hashtag for us to see.
