Best Flying Pumpkin Shaker Thing

Twas the night before Halloween and all thru the mist,

creatures were stirring and making their list.

Okay, so I’m not a poet (and I know it) but work with me.

It’s almost Halloween and we are starting our Halloween crafts this week!

Our first craft is a uhm, uh… What started off as a pumpkin face grew and grew into something that brought us a lot of laughs, smiles and fun!

Supplies:

• Two paper plates
• Orange paint for face
• Face cutouts (used black construction paper)
• Glue
• Stickers, beads, decorations, eyes

First, paint a paper plate orange for the pumpkin.

Miss 2 loves to paint, it’s so relaxing.

Next, wait for it to dry. I know, the hard part, but it’s only a few minutes!

We then made our pumpkin plates come alive. I cut out lots of different facial shapes that they could choose from.

The kids even added stickers to their pumpkin faces!

Right about here, I was going to end the project and hang up their pumpkins but Mr 4 wanted to play music and that inspired another idea to this Mama’s head. Pumpkin Tambourines!

Supplies Needed:

• 2 more plates for the back
• Beans or anything to make noise
• Tape

Place the beans on a plate and put the pumpkin plate on top. Tape it all around. Done.

You can shake it for a tambourine or it makes a great frisbee! Either way, this “Best Flying Pumpkin Shaker Thing” ever. Mr 4 and Miss 2 approve!
