Instructions for making our paper jack o’lantern craft
Step 1
Using your fingers, tear small pieces of orange construction paper. Use the glue stick to glue these torn pieces onto the black construction paper until it’s almost covered. Leave just enough uncovered so that you can make a spooky mouth and nose for your pumpkin.
Jack O’lantern craft tip: If you cut your black piece of construction paper in half you can make two jack o’lantern pumpkins.
Step 2
Tear small pieces of green and brown construction paper to make the stalk and leaf on your pumpkin. Then you can glue the googly eyes into place.
