The creative geniuses over at plaidkidcrafts.com featured this adorable pumpkin craft I've listed the project directions and a link to their site. It's easy enough for my 5 yr old to enjoy without having a lot of supervision or at least keeping a grip on her creativity so my walls remain intact!
What you need:
- green paper
- green (or brown) pipe cleaner
- orange paint
- egg carton (2 cups per pumpkin)
- scissors
- glue
- paint brush
- black marker
Directions: Cut your egg cups off of the egg carton. Take 2 egg carton cups & paint the outside with orange paint. Let it dry. Poke a small hole in the top of one of the cups. Cut a piece of the pipe cleaner that is 2 inches long & fold it in half. Twist the ends…leaving the top a loop. Place glue on the edges of one of the cups. Glue the cups together & allow to dry. Place the pipe cleaner in the hole on the top. Draw a face on the pumpkin using a marker. Cut a leaf out of the green paper & glue it on & there you have a cute Jack-0-Lantern.
