My 3 yo son and I had a fun day making these yesterday 😀
It is close to our annual Halloween party, so I thought, hey, let’s make new decorations for the party, and we came up with these Jack O’Lanterns 😀
Equipment
- Egg carton
- Black, green and orange paints (the non toxic ones from Dollarstore)
- Paint brush
- Craft knife or regular knife
- Double side sticky tape
Instructions
- Cut the egg carton cavities into singles and paint them orange, let dry
- Take two singles and stack them bottom end to bottom end, transforming them into a pumpkin. Attach each two with double side sticky tape from the inside. Make a slice on the top for where the stems will be pushed in
- Cut the egg carton lid into strips and paint them green, these are for the stems, once dry, push them in on the top of the pumpkin
- Start painting for eyes and scary grins and your scary pumpkins are ready 🙂
- We place them throughout the house, from dessert table, window, stairs, etc
We did not only make these scary pumpkins, we also made spiders, which I will share the tutorial a bit later.
