Pumpkin Art





After carefully selecting our pumpkins at the school fall harvest festival, we then had to decide what to do with them. It was unanimously decided that our pumpkins needed........Halloween Costumes!

Mikaela set forth to make hers a beautiful princess. First, came a full coat of pink paint. Then, drawn on a face. Decorate with jewels. No princess would be in complete costume without her tiara. Much time was spent on creating the perfect tiara - pink of course, with many jewels - and lots of sparkly glitter!And, it wouldn't be Halloween without a little magic - so a magic wand was in demand!

Xander created his own superhero - a cross between spiderman and superman. He began with a coat of red paint. Then went to work drawing spider lines on his pumpkin. Created a face - complete with gluing on circle eyes. Now for the Superman quality of a super hero cape. A piece of mommy's big scrapbooking paper, many stars and accessories and a good glue stick - Up, Up, and AWAY!!!!
