We made this scarecrow and it turned out sooo cute!!

Here’s what you’ll need: we used scrapbook paper for his shirt, construction paper for his face, his buttons, his nose and the crows, part of a cardboard box for his hat and stake (we colored the stake black).  The green stuff for the grass is actually a few pieces cut off of a cheerleading pom-pom.  (Although you could just use tissue paper).  His hair is a few little pieces I took off of the top of some Indian corn.

Glue everything together.

Isn’t he the cutest scarecrow you’ve ever seen?  ;)

Rather than just painting a pumpkin I thought it’d be fun to do it a little bit differently.

You’ll need: a cookie sheet (I covered it with aluminum foil to make clean up easier), red and yellow paint, sponge, pumpkin shaped paper.

Mix yellow and red paint together to see what happens.

Then put your pumpkin down on the paint and press.

Our finished pumpkins.  You could add a face to your pumpkin too if you wanted to make a jack-o-lantern.

We made this cute and easy little pumpkin.

You’ll need: small styrofoam ball, orange tissue paper, black felt, small black pipe cleaner, glue.

Rip the orange tissue paper into small pieces and then glue them onto the styrofoam ball, covering the whole thing up.

While your child is busy covering the ball up, cut out some pieces from the felt for a face.

Push the pipe cleaner into the top of your pumpkin for a stem.  Add a face to the pumpkin.

Last week our theme was pumpkins.  So we made some sequencing cards to help Hailey learn the steps in growing a pumpkin.

First Hailey colored the cards.

Then she cut them apart.

Then she glued them onto construction paper in the correct order.
