Pumpkins!

These adorable pumpkins were made by Mrs. Hughes's class in honor of the arrival of Autumn.  We're going to embellish them a bit more in our next session, but so far they are looking good!  They are simple enough to create.  Here's how we did it. 
  1. Open up a brown paper lunch bag and sit it flat on a surface in front of you.
  2. Stuff the inside of the bag with two pieces of newspaper that have been slightly crumpled into a ball. 
  3. Grab and twist the top portion of the bag, using a piece of masking tape to keep it closed.
  4. Paint the outside of the bag using tempera or acrylics. 
Stay tuned to see how we finish these with some vines and leaves.....
