DIY Paper Plate Pumpkin for Halloween Decor


Kids love to do arts and crafts, especially the young ones,

I thought this was so cute.

I can't wait to make it with Celeste.


This does call for a pumpkin face template that

you can download but there is no reason why you can't just use construction paper and make your own faces.


What you'll need:

Paper plate

Orange marker (or crayon or paint)

Construction paper (black, brown, and green)

Scissors

Glue


Create:

Use the orange marker and color one side of

the paper plate orange. You can use a crayon or

paint as well, but I find using a marker the fastest

and least messy.

Cut out eyes and mouth for the pumpkin using

black construction paper.  mix and match the eyes,

nose, and mouth to make your perfect paper plate pumpkin.


Glue the black eyes and mouth onto the paper plate.


 Cut out the stem of the pumpkin

using brown construction paper.


Glue the brown stem to the

back of the paper plate.


Cut out two thin strips out of the

green construction paper.


Wrap the thin green strips of paper around

a pencil to make it curly.


Glue the green strips of paper onto the stem.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
