Pumpkin Craft

Our son really enjoyed making this pumpkin craft last year as a two year old. Now he’s excited to have it sprucing up our house for another season! Saw this fun little idea for a pumpkin craft over at Le Baby Bakery.

I had all the supplies except contact paper. I understand that no home school worth its salt can do without contact paper so off to the store I went. First, I drew a rough sketch of a pumpkin and cut it out. Then lay that one out and cut another one. (Note: Think through what side you’re drawing on and if you need to flip it over. You need the sticky sides to be touching and lined up.)

Pull back one side of one pumpkin to let your kiddo go to town with little tissue paper squares.

Lay the other peeled sheet on top and trim the over hanging tissue paper.

Next I put electric tape all around the edges. There has GOT to be a better way to do this. But I was past the point of caring.

Cut a hole in the top. Thread it with something. Hang it in a window. It turned out super festive in my opinion.
