Materials Needed:

Paper plate Orange crayon (or marker or paint) Brown construction paper Green construction paper Black construction paper Glue Scissors

Steps:

Prepare the pumpkin base: Take your paper plate and color it entirely orange using a crayon, marker, or paint. Allow it to dry if using paint.
Make the face: From the black construction paper, cut out: Two triangles for the eyes One triangle for the nose A crescent shape for the mouth (or individual teeth for a jack-o’-lantern smile) Arrange these pieces on the orange paper plate to form a face. Once you’re happy with the placement, glue them down.
Create the stem: Cut a small rectangle (about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide) from the brown construction paper. Roll it into a cylinder shape and secure it with glue. Once dry, attach it to the top center of your orange paper plate using glue. Add leaves: Cut 2-3 leaf shapes from the green construction paper strips. Glue these leaves next to the stem of your pumpkin. Optional: Add details If desired, use the orange crayon or marker to draw curved lines from the stem to the bottom of the plate to mimic a pumpkin’s natural ridges.
