Great Pumpkins

Part 2 of the 5 Posts of Fright series

The kindergarten classes ( well, at least the A class: B has missed Friday classes because of early release and harvest parties) made some great jack-o-lanterns.

We took a class to discuss the soft food sculptures of Claes Oldenburg. After that, we stuffed some paper lunch bags with newspaper and used some string to tie the top.  After some smooshing around, we broke out the orange paint and loaded them up by holding the "stem" and painting around in a circle.

After dry time (next class) I gave the students some small pieces of black and yellow paper and we attempted some scissor work to cut out shapes and glue them to create our jack-o-lanterns.
