Materials
Mini pumpkins
Small pieces of colored tissue paper
Watered-down Elmer’s glue, in a cup
Foam paintbrushes
Waxed paper
Directions
Cover the work surface with newspaper. Give your child a pumpkin. Let him dip his paintbrush in the watered-down glue and paint a section of the pumpkin. Immediately, he should place tissue paper over the wet glue. Use the paintbrush to paint over the tissue paper, covering any dry spots. Continue the process, doing a small portion at a time. When your child is finished, set the pumpkin on the waxed paper to dry. The result is a very colorful fall decoration.
