Paper Plate Jack-O-Lantern

The theme this week is Halloween!

Project: Paper Plate Jack-O-Lantern I used a large paper plate and trimmed it down using the inside circle as my guide. Using a large paper plate allows the jack-o-lantern to have a stem, but you could use a small paper plate for this project. Directions: Cut a pumpkin shape out of a large paper plate, using the inside circle as the template. Make sure to cut a stem into your shape. Rip orange and green construction paper into pieces. Stick the ripped paper onto the pumpkin using a glue stick. After the pumpkin is covered, cut out jack-o-lantern features and glue them on to the pumpkin.

Materials Needed: paper plate, orange, black and green construction paper, glue stick, scissors

Jack-O-Lantern Rock!

Addie's Rock

Ty's Rock

The theme this week is Halloween!

Project: Jack-O-Lantern Rocks! This project was inspired by a rock painting project that my dear friend Nichole featured on her blog http://www.minimatisse.blogspot.com/ She is an amazing mom, friend, teacher and artist!! Thanks for the inspiration Nichole!! Ty and Addie loved painting their rocks and then peeling off the tape to reveal their very own jack-0-lantern rock.

Directions: Cut jack-o-lantern features from painters tape and fasten to rock. Paint the whole rock orange. Let dry, then remove tape pieces. Spray with sealant if you want to leave the rock outside. I used a polyurethane varnish spray! Materials Needed: rock, paintbrush, orange paint, painters tape, scissors, varnish spray
