I recently did this craft with my daughters’ classrooms for their Pumpkin Day and all the kids had a great time. They turned out so cute, I decided to share it.
Paper Bag Pumpkin
You will need:
Brown Paper Bag
Orange & Green Paint
Brown construction paper
Green ribbon
Newspaper
1. Open the brown bag and insert your hand inside. Instruct your child to paint the bag orange – leaving 1 inch at the top unpainted. Paint the top of the bag green. Let it dry.
2. Now, paint the inside (1 inch of the top) bag green too. Let it dry. When it dries, stuff the bag with newspaper.
3. Cut a 2 – 3 inch wide strip of brown construction paper. Now roll it up. This will be the stem.
4. Now cut strips in the green portion on the bag to make leaves.
Enjoy your little pumpkins!
Really, really cute idea. Thanks for sharing.
