Jack-O-Lantern art project

New on my art shelf this week is this simple jack-o-lantern project.  On a tray I have placed a box of orange construction paper squares, a basket with a pencil, black marker, scissors, glue stick and small gluing mat, a tiny basket of brown "stems", and a small silver bowl.

To do this work the child places the silver bowl on the orange paper and traces its circumference with a pencil.  At this point they can choose to cut it with the scissors or to pin-punch it using our pin-punching materials which are found on my art shelf.

Then they use the black marker to draw features on the "face" and the glue stick to add a brown stem.  Done!

Thank you for the idea! I've put this work out on the shelf for my kids at home!

what's the scoop with pin-punching? does that mean it's then perforated and can be torn out? cute project. :)

Ooh. You just gave me an idea. Thanks. We haven't done any pin-punching yet, and it' about time we tried it.
