Halloween Pumpkin Crafts

On our trip to the pumpkin patch we got a handful of pumpkins. Only two were large enough to carve. I decided to make craft projects out of the rest of them. We made a witch, bat, Frankenstein, a spider, and a mummy. S and I made the mummy and the spider. All three of us made the witch, bat, and Frankenstein. The girls had so much fun! S got to practice coloring, painting, and gluing. A got to practice her cutting, painting, and gluing. They both loved the glitter glue pens!

Our completed mummy.

Painting our pumpkin to transform into a spider. 

All painted for the transformation.

Our finished spider. 

Making the eyes for the witch.

Working on the witch's mouth. 

Gluing on the eyes. 

The witch's mouth.

Our finished witch.

Making eyes for Frankenstein.

I cut out a mouth for A to decorate with a glitter pen.

S made the eyes, A made the mouth, and I made the stitches/bandages.

FRANKENSTEIN!

Painting another pumpkin black for a batty transformation.

Our completed bat (I didn't get a picture of it by itself apparently). 

A closer look at the bat. The eyes, ears, and mouth are foam stickers. The nose is a puff ball. Then nylon wings. The bat was made from a kit purchased at Target. I wasn't confident in my abilities (or my time management) to make the bat wings. The rest were made from things we had on-hand.
