Pumpkin Craft for Preschool!
Materials Needed: paper plate, orange paint, cardstock paper, scissors, glue, markers
Step 1: Gather your supplies for the pumpkin craft! Print your pumpkin cutouts onto cardstock paper. This is a great craft to try sponge painting! Use a sponge to splash color across your paper plate. If you’re not in the mood for paint, watercolors work great for filling in your paper plate.
Step 2: Cut out your pumpkin cutouts. Then, use markers or crayons to color in your pieces. I decided to color my pieces black, but you can always color your pieces yellow to make it look like a candle is shining through your pumpkin.
Step 3: Use your glue stick to paste your cutouts to the paper plate. I decided to add a touch of glitter to my pumpkin. Add any finishing touches you like! Print your Ghost Coloring Pages and Halloween Worksheets for more spooky fun!

Finally, add your green pipe cleaner stem. I used a hole punch to make things easy. Using glue can be a bit tricky for this part. Print your Pumpkin Worksheets to keep exploring this fun fall theme! Be sure to hang your pumpkin somewhere that needs a bit of fall cheer!
