Steps

  • Step 1

    Use Crayola® Crayons to colour the tops of paper lunch bags green or brown for pumpkin stems. Colour the rest of the bags in pumpkin colours (oranges, browns, yellows, and greens). For a textured effect, remove the paper crayon wrappers. Place bags on top of textured surfaces and rub with the side of the crayon. Layer colours for a deep pumpkin look.

  • Step 2

    Open up your coloured bags and fill with lightly crumpled recycled newspaper. Twist tops closed at the stem bottoms.

  • Step 3

    If you wish, make eyes, a nose, and a mouth for Halloween pumpkin lanterns. Cut facial features from construction paper or white paper coloured with dark crayons. Glue in place with Crayola School Glue.

  • Step 4

    Add cut-paper vines and leaves to display with your field full of plump pumpkins.
