Find out how to make a simple jack-o-lantern picture using paper and glue.

  • Age Guideline: 3 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 10 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

 

Materials Needed:

Instructions:
Hold an orange and black sheet of construction paper together and cut out a pumpkin shape (You can tape the edges of the paper together to make the cutting easier if you like). From the orange pumpkin shape, cut out eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Sometimes it is easier to cut out the pumpkins and the facial features by folding the paper in half like when you cut out a heart shape. Glue the black pumpkin to the back-side of the orange pumpkin so that is what you see through the facial features. If you like, cut a stem and leaves out of paper and glue them on.
