I picked up a package of foam pumpkins (8 count) in the Target dollar spot a few weeks ago.
I let the girls sort through the button bucket to find eyes. (I pulled a couple of black buttons to illustrate the concept to them...I thought it was funny they picked white button eyes for three of the four pumpkins.) [The fourth pumpkin went to work with Daddy.]
I used some scrap green foam for the leaf, and some black felt for mouths.
The girls glued on the notions, and I love how the pumpkins all have such different expressions.
I bought a 12" grapevine wreath, and I tied the pumpkins to it (using a strip of tape on the back and some yarn). I added some polka-dot ribbon to finish it off.
Viola! A cute addition to the mantle...done mostly by the girls...for about $3!
I'm linking up with Charlene at Adventures-in-Mommy-Land for "Hey, Mom! Look What I Did!" Check out her fantastic weekly link-up for so many great crafty and educational ideas!

Cute!
So I want to ask you - do they do the scissors bits by themselves?
Those scissors make me so nervous!!!
PRECIOUS!!! I love it!
I love this! We have some foam pumpkins that the kids are going to make at a Halloween playdate. I think I'll have the girls make a couple of extras and steal your idea. I love how your crafts are easy on the eyes AND the wallet! :)
