Materials

  • Brown paper bag
  • Card stock in black, orange and green
  • Orange marker
  • Glue stick
  • Jack O’lantern face template

Instructions

  • Download the pumpkin template, print it, and cut out the pieces you need.
  • Begin by gluing the bottom part of the pumpkin piece underneath the paper bag flap and to the bottom of the bag.
  • Next, glue the top part of the pumpkin piece onto the top of the paper bag flap.
  • Optional: Using a ruler and the orange marker, draw straight lines down the length of the paper bag pumpkin puppet.
  • Now, glue the eye and the nose onto the orange flap.
  • Glue the mouth onto the main "body" section, just below the flap.
  • Take the stem and glue it behind the bag, at the top of the head.
  • Next, take the leaf and wrap it around a pencil or your finger to curl it.
  • Finish off by gluing the leaf to the top of the paper bag flap, near the stem.
