Transform a cardboard box into your very own fall market stand! Sell pumpkins, apples, and autumn goodies while practicing counting, customer service, and creative play. Set up shop and watch your imagination grow! The printables in this project make it easy to make a Pumpkin Patch, Apple Market, or Hay Ride stand, but also includes blank banners for kids to customize.
A 30–60 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — Paper Bags, Hole Punches, and Tape.
GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.
Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.
Create a free GlueStick account to track supplies and see if you have what you need at a glance. Leave your kids tips about where supplies are stored in your household so they can set up and clean up their creative spaces independently.
Option A: Cut a large cardboard box into a farm stand shape. Ask an adult for help using a utility knife to cut a window out of one side. Cut off the back of the box, but leave the sides so it will stand up on its own. Option B: If you don’t have a large cardboard box, that’s ok! You can make a farm stand window out of a medium-sized box placed on top of a table, or just decorate a table.
"Let's stick together and make this one!"
Put things away so your space is tidy for next time.
Check off each supply when it is put away — and any clean-up tips underneath are done too. You might find a fun surprise!
