O.K. so here's another idea to get children to read and follow directions. I'm showing pictures along with the written instructions to help younger children read, see and follow directions. We have used smaller versions of these for advertising an upcoming event and as name cards showing where people are to sit for our Halloween dinner. After dinner enjoy a few of the books we've listed.
We sure hope you're enjoying these fun and easy craft ideas. Please let us know what you think.
Materials Needed: toilet paper tube, orange construction paper, green construction paper, green pipe cleaner,Elmer's glue or Scotch Tape.
Before you begin, cut 20, 1/2" strips of construction paper.1 - Cover toilet paper tube with orange construction paper.
2 - Glue or tape the 1/2" strips of orange paper inside top of pumpkin.
Continue all the way around the top of the pumpkin.
3- Glue or tape the loose end of each strip to the inside bottom of
tube.
4 - Make a stem by rolling up a 2" X 3" piece of green construction
paper, make leaves using green pipe cleaner.
Note: I layered extra strips of 1/2" of the orange construction strips to make the pumpkin look fuller.
