First glue your popsicle stick together to create the base of the craft. Be sure to leave some space between the popsicle stick pieces so it's looks like a picket fence. Set aside to let it dry completely.

While drying, grab your cardstock and black marker. Trace/trim out your child's handprint to create a body for cat. With the remaining cardstock, cut out other embellishments to give him life. Set all aside.

Now grab your mini clothespins and foam pumpkin stickers. Go ahead and place the stickers on the clothespins to create the "five little pumpkins" that will sit on top of the fence. Use your black marker to give each pumpkin a customized look {psst - if you don't have stickers, cut out your own from craft foam and attach with glue!}

To finish the FIVE LITTLE PUMPKINS SITTING ON A GATE craft, have children "pinch" their pumpkins to the fence piece and glue your handprint cat to the front. At this time you can also add other embellishments you see fit.

Then let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
