first stuff a paper bag (we used “large” lunch sacks)

then twist and scrunch the top shut

then paint it all orange with washable paint

then go wash your hands (and then wash the bathroom and the floor)

then let dry (unless you find some green streamers and add vines to each one during clean up time:)

then use duct tape to make a sturdy stem

then play with the pumpkins and wait to add black and yellow shapes for faces later this week
