Munchkin Monday: Paper Plate Pumpkins

I am always looking for fun things I can do with kids.  I saw this paper plate pumpkin on pinterest and I thought it would be fun for the twins I watch to do.  I didn't know how well they would do with art projects since they are just barely 3, but I wanted to try anyway.  They did better than I thought and I think they had fun.

Here is what you need.
-Paper plates (1 for each child)
-orange, black, and green, construction paper
-glue sticks

I started by rip pieces of orange construction paper and had the twins glue it on the paper plate.  Then I cut out a green stem for them to glue on.  I then cut out different shapes for them to glue on for the face of the pumpkin or jack o lantern.  Then Team Umizumi came on tv and they decided they were done.  Oh well they are 3 and there attention span is only so long.  I am sure as they get older and more exposed to arts and crafts things like this will go a lot better.  I am all about exposure and repitition. 

I think older kids would enjoy this as well.  They could cut out their own face and make it how they want. 

Here are some pictures from it.
