Super easy paper pumpkins!

For each pumpkin you’ll need:

• 1 x A4 paper
• 2 x paper fasteners
• 1 x green pipe cleaner
• Pencil - to curl your pipe cleaner and pierce the paper strips
• Orange crayon - to colour the paper (OR use paint/pencil/texta)
• 2 x googly eyes (or you can draw them on)
• Black paper - for the mouth and nose
• Fishing line or string - to hang

Cut the paper into 8 even strips. I did this by folding the paper in half and cutting along the fold, repeating this until I had the 8 strips.

Using the tip of the pencil I pierced a small hole at each end of every strip of paper.

Give these strips to your child to colour in orange.

Show them how to poke the paper fastener through the holes, point out that the coloured side needs to be facing down. Open the fastener to secure.

The next bit is a little fiddley so you may need to help out. Bend the strips around and poke them individually through the second paper fastener. Open the fastener to secure.

Using the pencil curl the green pipe cleaner. Twist it once under the top paper fastener.

Tie the fishing line/string where you tied the pipe cleaner.

Sticky tape or glue your googly eyes, nose and mouth on.

Your paper pumpkin is ready to hang anywhere you like.

*Make a few and use A3 paper to make a little paper pumpkin family!
