How to Make a Craft Stick Pumpkin Craft:
Here’s how to make this easy pumpkin craft for kids! The supplies are easy to find!
Supplies needed:
9-10 craft sticks (medium or large size)
craft markers, orange, black, brown, etc
google eyes (I used large size)
chenille stems or pipe cleaners, cut into small 2-3 inch pieces per craft–one is for for the stem and one for the mouth.
1 pom pom fuzz ball for the nose
craft glue (I use Elmer’s Xtreme for all my kids crafts! I love it!)
- Color your craft sticks with the markers. Kids will love this part. You can also use craft paint, but markers are better for a cleaner work space if that’s what you want. Be sure to break a piece of one stick and color it to be the stem of the pumpkin.
2. Glue the colored sticks onto 2 support sticks that are placed in the opposite direction of the other sticks as shown above. Use glue to attach them.
3. Glue the stem of your pumpkin onto the back and let dry. When dry curl one of the chenille stem pieces around the stem. Use another chenille stem to be the mouth and shape it as desired. Glue the rest of the pieces on to create a face for your jack o’ lantern. Let dry thoroughly.
How to make a easy Halloween bat craft for kids:
Now let’s make this cute and simple bat craft for kids. Perfect for Halloween decor to hang around the classroom or home!
Supplies needed:
1 piece of black tissue paper (about 8.5 x 11 size)
1 clothespin
google eyes, small size
1 black pom pom fuzz ball
black craft markers
white paper cut into tiny triangles for fangs
craft glue (again I use Elmer’s Xtreme–it dries faster, holds better, and is safe for kids!)
- Color the clothespin with the black marker. Using scissors, cut 2 triangles out of the edge of one side of the tissue paper. Repeat on the opposite side. This makes the bat wings.
2. Gather the tissue paper in the middle and place it inside of the clothes pin opening, pinching it down on the tissue paper to hold it. Glue on the pom pom for the head near the end that opens on the clothes pin.
3. Glue on the eyes and the fangs. You can put the fangs at the bottom of the head to open when the clothespin opens.
And you’re done! Thanks for completing these easy Halloween crafts for kids!
