Paper pumpkins

Here's a fun paper-pumpkin craft that I've done at the library and with my grandkids.

Fold a sheet of card stock or construction paper in half, 

then fold each half to the centre.

Draw a pumpkin shape on a piece of cardboard or heavy paper. 

Trace it onto the folded paper so that the pumpkin 

goes off the paper on both sides. 

Cut out the pumpkin shape...

...and unfold your pumpkin string.

Draw on faces or decorate as you wish.











Hang up or stand up your pumpkin strings wherever you like!

Enjoy,

Judy Ann

Pumpkin Time!

 In late Spring we had rhubarb time...


...in the heart of summer we had blueberry time...




...and now it is pumpkin time!

The plants were started by our son and grandsons at their place, 
then planted at our place.


It wasn't long before the pumpkins took over our backyard!


We loved their bright orange colour.


It was soon time to harvest the pumpkin crop, load them up...


...and take a fun photo!


Happy pumpkin time!
