 Yarn Balloon Pumpkin. Inflate balloon. Dip long strands of orange yarn into plates of white glue. Coat yarn generously with glue. Cover inflated balloon with glue covered yarn. Dry overnight. Pop balloon the next day, the yarn will collapse upon itself, but when you take the deflated balloon out, the yarn shape unfold again to a pumpkin shape (retaining the balloon shape!). Add green chenille stems on top. I want to make several and line them up on the mantle!

Use a larger piece of paper and teach your children the 5 Little Pumpkins song: Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate. The first one said, "oh my it's getting late." The second one said, "there are witches in the air." The third one said, "but we don't care!" The fourth one said, "let's run and run and run." The fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!" OOOhh OOOhh went the wind And out went the lights And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight. |
