This project scored big for ages 5 - 8.
You can make this as complicated or simple as you like. The Pumpkins on a Popcicle Fence incorporates: painting, drawings, glueing and cutting.
My 4 1/2 year olds loved the painting and glueing. They struggled some with cutting circles - but enjoyed making faces on their pumpkins. The 6 and 8 year olds enjoyed creating a story behind the whole project, adding more fence elements and natural items.
Here’s an easy fall or Halloween or Thanksgiving craft project for kids.
It would be a fun and easy craft to do for a Halloween or harvest party.
What You’ll Need
White paper
Construction paper in orange, brown, green, yellow, red, and green
pop-cicle sticks
brown paper bag, file folders or paint paper
blue, green, brown water color paint
salt
glue
scissors
How to make it
The background is salt painted, by adding salt to water color paints, then letting the mixture dry on the paper. When the paint is dry it has white spots showing through the blue. It works great for a sky background. Just wipe the salt right off.
The ground is created by using 2 different colors of brown. For this picture we used file folders and paint paper. Watercolors in various shades of green and blue.
The fence is made from pop-cicle sticks, and the pumpkins are cut out of orange construction paper, then the details have been added with crayon.Glue on the fence made of popcicle sticks. I suggested the children use 5 straigh and three across.
Cut wavy sections to make the ground look hilly, then layer two or three layers of hills.
The final touches are bright colored leaves and grasses also cut out of scraps of construction paper.
Pumpkins on a fence is really not hard to make, and it’s a really cute project. The painted background may need to be done ahead of time for the children. The kids should be able to do the rest, with a little assistance from adults.

5 Little Pumpkin Poem
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate;
The first one said, "Oh my it's getting late."
The second one said, "There are witches in the air."
The third one said, "But I don't care."
The fourth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"
The fifth one said, "Let's run and run and run."
"Wooooooo" went the wind,
And out went the lights.
