Make a Halloween Pumpkin

14 October 2006 3 Comments

You will need:

Orange Card (or thick sugar paper)

Black Marker/Felt Tip/Pencil

Green, Orange or Yellow Cellophane

String or Black Wool

Scissors

Glue

Cellotape

1. Draw a pumpkin onto the paper with the black pen, include triangle eyes, a nose, and a toothy grin or grimace.

2. Cut out the pumpkin and then cut the holes for the eyes, nose, and mouth.

3. Glue cellophane on the rear of the eyes, nose and mouth.

4. Cellotape some string on to hang to the ceiling or blue tac to the window so that the light shines through and brings your pumpkin to life.

    Like the fascinating cardboard box on christmas day, a lot of the time it is the simple activity that captures the little imagination :)
