Paper Mache' Pumpkins



Since the weather in October is still reaching 80 and 90 degree temps in the afternoon pumpkin carving is saved until the day before, or the day of Halloween. One of the mom's in one of our play groups invited us over to make paper mache' pumpkins that we could paint, and illuminate.

It was a whole lot of messy fun!

Natalie is quite the paper mache' pro. Her pumpkin/balloon was neatly covered w/ very little excess goo. Lily's approach was slightly different. She would stick the paper in the paste and then scrunch it up in her fists to get all of the excess off and the place the fist sized glob onto her balloon.




The girls were all nearly finished when they decided they were done. ( :
So the mom's helped fill in any gaps that were left.
Sorry again... No finished pictures here either... Man!
