Adorable Spooky Pumpkins
Oh, pumpkins! Those round, orange squash that symbolize the heart of the fall season! Think about it. When fall strikes, pumpkins are suddenly everywhere! From pumpkin spiced lattes to jack-o-lanterns lighting up porches. They're in our pies, our lesson plans, and our home décor. Pumpkins mean cozy sweaters, crisp air, and leaf piles ready for jumping.
And honestly those pumpkins take center stage at our house from September all the way until November! Love them!
This fall, why not let the kids have a pumpkin patch of their own? Not in the garden, but right on their work surface. Imagining those mini sticks turning into tiny pumpkins is bound to get any child's creative side shining brighter than a jack-o-lantern on Halloween night.

Craft it Up!
Ah, the joy of crafting! It's the act of turning basic supplies into pieces of art. Crafting is more than just fun; it's a way to express, create, and sometimes even giggle at those not-so-perfect finished pieces. But hey, that's all part of the process. Especially when it comes to fun crafts like our popsicle stick Halloween crafts!
And don't be afraid to jump into the crafts with you kids! Crafting is a way of expressing yourself even for adults! Plus bonding? Yeah that too!
With Halloween around the corner, it's a fantastic time to add some fun characters to the crafting mix. And let's be honest, nothing says Halloween quite like pumpkins. Whether it's a real pumpkin, a pumpkin template, or our easy halloween craft today - it's all about that pumpkin love!

How To Make a Pumpkin Out of Popsicle Sticks
Start by printing out the pumpkin face template at the bottom of the post. Cut out each of the pieces of the template.
Start by cutting two of the craft sticks down to a length slightly shorter than five craft sticks side by side.
Hot glue the cut sticks to the back of the popsicle sticks.
Paint the front of the popsicle sticks with the orange paint.
Pumpkin's Face
Next, trace the template pieces onto a black piece of paper and cut them out as the pumpkin face pieces.
Next, draw a simple stem shape out of brown cardstock. It can be as simple as a rectangle or more stem shape.
Lastly, glue the pumpkin face pieces to the front of the pumpkin once the paint has dried and the stem to the top of the pumpkin.
Viola, you have a your own popsicle stick pumpkin!
