Jack-o-Lantern Craft with Baby Food Jars + Pumpkins, TOO!

Dateline: Halloween. Easy Peasy Crafts for Children

Have you gathered a collection of baby food jars just waiting for inspiration? 

Here's a child-friendly craft in the nick of time! 

Clean out your glass jars from the recycle bin. 

Grab some orange and black tissue paper. 

Do you have some mod podge type product? 

Or just dilute your school glue with water. 

These are obviously "finished" with wire for handles! 

I saw these cuties last week up in New Jersey drying in the art room, during my Author-Illustrator school visit.  

Just down the hall there were some three-dimensional pumpkin sculptures on display in a corner of the kindergarten classroom. 

Take a brown paper bag, snack size.

Stuff it with newspaper crumples. 

A twist here. A twist there. 

Paint. 

Adorn with construction paper leaves and pipe cleaner stems! 

A fitting seasonal center-piece for even a Martha Stewart table setting!

Grouping a 'bunch' together is that much more festive! 

My song "Monster Spray" would be the perfect cherry on the top of your Fall Festival Celebration. It is available in a zipped file for digital download purchase at Teachers Pay Teachers. 

The song is just creepy enough to be exciting, 

but still PERFECT for the PreK+K crowd. 

With the happy, fun ending don't be surprised if the kids in your life ask to hear it again and again! They will be joining in on the rousing chorus RIGHT away {complete with sound effects.}
