Now that October is here, everything is PUMPKINS!
(I think October is all of our favorite month of the year :) )
Rowan and I have been browsing through Pinterest, looking for pumpkin crafts we could do together... we love doing our *projects* together...
He wanted to do this stuffed paper bag pumpkin (we've done this one MANY times before)... pretty easy~ just stuff the paper bag with torn crumpled paper bags, tie at the top with raffia or jute, and paint! You can add construction paper leaves / pumpkin vines after that.
Next we thought we'd try these toilet paper tube / strips of paper pumpkins~ they were a lot harder than I thought! For some reason there was no orange construction paper so we colored orange paper then cut the strips & I stapled them to the TP tubes. Then we added our stems & leaves. They turned out a little crunchy, but much like the shape of a realistic pumpkin :)
Here's a little "pumpkin patch" Rowan made by himself from scrunched up paper pumpkins:
