Craft of the Week: Turning Paper Scraps into Pumpkins

Due to my current coupon fanaticism, I'm constantly on the lookout for printable coupons. But clipping printable coupons creates a lot of odd sized paper scraps, which can get strewn about en route to their recycling destination.


This week we made use of those awkward pieces by coloring some with orange crayons, cutting them into strips, and creating a paper pumpkin. My daughter and I were delighted with the simple process and colorful results.


Paper Pumpkin Materials List:

• Paper towel tube
• Paper scraps (at least 8'' long)
  
• Orange and green crayons
• Scissors
• Glue stick
