Pumpkin Popsicle Stick Craft
Supplies:

1 green popsicle stick
1 green faux leaf
Orange scrapbook paper
Glue
Scissors
Directions:
Cut each of the popsicle sticks in half.
Place one piece on a flat surface. Glue one stick on each end at a slight angle. Glue one piece to the end of the angled pieces, angling them slightly inward. Attach the remaining stick to the bottom of the pumpkin.
Trace the outside of the pumpkin on the back of the orange scrapbook paper. Cut out the shape with scissors.
Glue the scrapbook paper shape to the back of the popsicle sticks.
Glue the green popsicle stick to the back of the paper to make a stem.
Cut the green faux leaf into three pieces and glue them to the top of the pumpkin.
Cut the numbers out with a pair of scissors. You can follow the outline of the pumpkin or you may cut the number in a square or rectangle shape.
Take each number square and place a dot of glue each each corner. Paste each number to a different cup.
Get the popsicle sticks and get ready to start practice counting.
Add the amount of sticks to match the number on each cup starting at 1. Complete this step until your child has placed the right amount of sticks in each cup.
When the child completes the activity, feel free to start over, counting down from 10 to 1.
Children can practice color sorting with the sticks if they wish, too. For example, add 5 blue popsicle sticks to the number 5 cup or 7 green popsicle sticks to the number 7 cup and so on.
With just a few supplies and simple directions, you and your little ones can create a festive and adorable decoration that celebrates the spirit of the season.
