The pumpkin is the official state fruit of New Hampshire, our current state of study for the fifty states project. R made this simple pumpkin craft.
Directions:
- Stuff a paper lunch bag with crumpled newspaper
- Wrap a rubber band around the top to create a stem
- Paint the stem green and the body of the pumpkin orange (as you can see, R got tired of painting so there are quite a few blank spots)
If you are wondering where C's pumpkin is, he decided that he is not painting anymore because it is too messy. I am hoping he changes his mind, but I can't say that I am optimistic because he will not use glue or eat maple syrup simply because of the sticky factor.

Well, R's pumpkin is adorable, and so is she holding it!
The maple syrup remark is very funny--to me, I know it isn't for you at home:-).
We made a whale in exactly same way, except it was a blue paper bag with eyes :) I am sorry that C is in "no paint" phase. Maybe some sort of no-spill brushes (I saw something like this from Crayola) will make him reconsider?
what cute pumpkins! we love making those
Awww.. your kiddos are so cute! I can't believe R got tired of painting. I didn't know that could happen! Emily can't get enough of it. She doesn't like messy projects either, but she's perfectly happy wearing a smock or doing messy projects outside. R's pumpkin looks so adorable!
I love this! saving to do for halloween!
C is SOOOOOO funny! I can't get over it.
So cute! I remember making one of these pumpkins when I was in elementary school way back in the day.
