Thanksgiving


                                        My children loved to make these pumpkins.
            Materials:
  • Paper Lunch Bag ( brown or white)
  • Some News Paper sheets.
  • Paper towel.
  • Orange paint.
  • Green construction paper
  • Green pipe cleaner.
  • Flour, glue and water to make paper mache .





1. Place the newspaper inside the paper lunch bag.
2.Model the bag to have a shape similar to a pumpkin.
3.Allow free 2 inches at the top, for the stem.
4.In a bowl, mix half a cup of water and a cup of flour until it looks like glue and introduce the paper towel sheets.
5.Cover all the surface of  the "pumpkin" with  the wet paper towel.
6. Let it dry for one day.
7. Now it's time to paint the pumpkin.
8. Draw 2 leaves on a green construction paper and cut them out, and glue both on the stem.
9.  Finally use a pencil to wrap around a green pipe cleaner and glue it on the top.
