Simple Pumpkin

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Make a simple pumpkin using a paper plate.

Materials Needed:

  • Paper Plate
  • Construction Paper
  • Finger Paint
  • Glue
Instructions:
Using the finger paint, paint the back side of the paper plate orange. Cut out eyes, nose, and mouth from black construction paper and glue it on the orange side of the paper plate once it is dry. Cut out a brown rectangle from construction paper and green leaf shapes. Glue these on to be the stem and leaves on the back, top edge of the pumpkin so it sticks out over the top.
