Paper Pumpkins

I'm not "all about Halloween" but I want it to be fun for the girls so I decided that Sophia and I would decorate a bit. The goal was to spend $0 and have Sophia fully involved. We traced the lid from our animal Crackers bin and Sophia and I cut out Orange circles for our pumpkins, Next we cut little stems and faces out of Green and black, and start sticking them on. we used double sided tape because I couldn't find the glue stick. Sophia got pretty inventive with some of her pumpkin faces, and named them all.
Princess Larvie:    I cut most of the features since Sophia cut her black paper into long thin strips

Ava

Ifem, but I call him Emo

Fraoma, she has a mustache

Ima, the Girlfriend and Mustache boy, the boyfriend. They have legs so they can walk, and go on a date.
Sophia made Mustache boy all by herself, he's my favourite!.

Fazha - he must be dutch, das is veird yah?

We rolled out a ribbon and stapled the pumpkin on, hiding  them behind Eyes.

All strung up.
If you make some paper crafts send me pictures and let me know how it goes, I love Ideas.
