“Dress-Up” a Pumpkin Book Character Project

Purpose:  Bring a children’s book character to life.

Project:  Students will choose a character from one of their favorite books and decorate a pumpkin to resemble that character.  We ask that a copy of the book also be sent to school with the pumpkin character.  The book can be brought from home or checked out from the library.  During the week of conferences, we will display your child’s pumpkin with his or her book!  This will be a fun family project and an opportunity to spend time together having fun!  Let your creativity fly!

Possible Supplies:  Small to medium-sized pumpkin, paint, construction paper, glue, wrapping paper, fabric, etc.  Please remember that you are decorating your pumpkin, not carving it.
