Kelly Johnson shares how to make a pumpkin using a lunch bag.
Materials Needed:
Brown Paper Lunch Bags
Newspaper
Green Felt (cut into leaf shapes)
Green Pipe Cleaner
Orange and Black Paint, Markers, or Crayons
Instructions:
Color or paint the bag orange leaving the top 1 -2 inches of the bag brown. Color or paint a jack-o-lantern face on the bag if you want (we used stencils of jack-o-lantern faces and sponged black paint on). Cut leaf shapes out of the green felt. Cut the pipe cleaner in half. Next, stuff the bag with newspaper and twist the top together with half of the green pipe cleaner, twist in the bottom part of a felt leaf to hold it in place. Twist the other half of the pipe cleaner around a crayon or pencil to form a curly vine and attach the end to the green pipe cleaner wrapped around the bag. You can make a whole pumpkin patch!
