Family Pumpkin Patch
You'll Need:
- Orange and brown paint

- Glue
- Your family
1. Paint the palms of each family member orange. Be sure to add some brown paint on the two middle fingers to make a stem and press hands onto construction paper.
2. Let it dry and then cut around the pumpkin (I used yellow so it looks like the pumpkin is shining!).
3. Glue to a big piece of green and blue construction paper (cut the blue construction paper in half and glue to the green so you have grass and a sky).
