A Pumpkin Patch Art Activity

A fun art activity that ties into a pumpkin theme. It would be a great follow up to a trip to the pumpkin patch!

Materials:

• orange paint
• brown bags of all sizes
• green pipe cleaners
• black precut triangles and circles
• bale of hay

Lesson Plan:

Have students paint brown paper bags with orange paint. Provide a variety of sizes for them to choose from (lunch and grocery store sizes).

Provide students with pre cut squares, circles and triangles to choose from for eyes, noses, and mouths.

Stuff paper bags with newspaper and close them with green pipe cleaners.

Twist the end of the pipe cleaners to create vines.

Display your pumpkins on a bale of hay in the classroom
