We had such a fun time today making these two crafts! They were so fun, so easy and SO INEXPENSIVE! You should take a look and give them a try.

Five Little Pumpkins Craft

First, we started by reading the book Five Little Pumpkins (Harper Growing Tree) and then we made this fun and easy craft.

You will need:
– 1 sheet of contruction paper (dark blue or dark purple)
– 1 sheet of black construction paper
– 1 pair of preschool scissors
– 7-10 colored Popsicle sticks
– white glue
– foam pumpkin stickers
– wiggly eyes

2 Fun Pumpkin Crafts for Tots and Preschoolers

Steps:
1. Cut a 2-inch strip out of the black construction paper and glue to the bottom of the dark blue or purple construction paper. This will be the “ground.”
2. Take 5 colored or regular popsicle sticks in the same color and glue vertically an inch to 1.5 inches apart.
3. Take two or three popsicle sticks and glue horizontally to resemble a gate (as in the story).
4. Glue wiggly eyes to 5 foam pumpkin stickers.
5. Place the 5 foam pumpkin stickers on the popsicle sticks gate.
6. Lay flat to dry for about 20-30 minutes.
7. Display in your child’s favorite spot.

Fall Pumpkin Wind Sock Craft

This craft was spontaneous because we had so many foam pumpkin stickers leftover.

You will need:

– 1 sheet of contruction paper (we chose light and dark green)

– foam pumpkin stickers

– double-sided tape

– regular magic tape

– 1 colored pipe cleaner

Steps:
1. Stick the foam pumpkin stickers on the piece of construction paper.
2. Apply a strip of double-sided tape on one of the narrower ends of the construction paper.
3. Put the opposite end together so the double-sided tape holds it in a cylindrical shape.
4. Tape the pipe cleaner on the top (inside) of the cylinder with the magic tape. Bend the tip of the pipe cleaner up just a tiny bit to hold it in place.
5. Tape the other end of the pipe cleaner in the inside of the cylinder with magic tape and curl a tiny tip of the pipe cleaner up.
6. Find a spot to hang it on where it will be visible.

As you can see, these crafts are so easy to make and very easy on your budget, too.
