PUMPKINS EVERYWHERE
SUPPLIES:
9.5×11 orange construction paper (you can use bigger paper for bigger pumpkins)
Black, Green, or Brown construction paper for stem (and face if you want)
Glue/Glue Stick
Stapler (or glue again)
DIRECTIONS:
Cut one inch strips out of the orange construction paper. For my preschoolers I first fan folded the paper and then let them cut along the folded lines. This seemed to work pretty well for them. The bigger pumpkins were fan folded the “long” way and the smaller pumpkins the “short” way.
Take the one inch strips and lay them out like a “sun” making sure that the ends of each of the orange pieces are on top of each other. Glue these ends together. Pinch them together to make sure they are stuck. Then curve the other pieces up again so the tops of the paper are overlapping at the top. I then staple these together so that they are certain to stay together.
To add the stem I just folded one end of the paper and had them glue it to the top. We then added the faces, pom pom balls etc.. with glue! EASY PEEZY! Here is a close up of one of the ones my three year old made. You can see that he did the cutting, glueing etc.. It’s not “perfect” but it is more adorable than perfect in my eyes…
