I’ve been going through and updating my old Homeschool Halloween posts with bigger better pictures, and I’ve been amazed at how often my posts start off with this sentence: So, we read this book, and of course, we had to make our own pumpkins. And then the kids had to go in completely a different direction because that’s what my kids do. Future Ticia 2024 has realized this is also a Book and Activity as I based this whole idea off reading a book.

The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin
Spookley the Square Pumpkin Craft
Supplies: Construction Paper*
So, I set them up with a piece of construction paper in their chosen color (to understand that read the story). And set them to making pumpkins. I showed them to cut out the shapes they wanted and then decorate them.
That was my theory.
Instead, they cut slivers put dots on them, and declared them pumpkins.
Batman drew a pumpkin patch and a farmer. Then cut them out and glued them on the mural. I guess that is mostly what I was aiming for.
Princess……. Well, she mostly did the project. For a while. Then she decided to paint herself.
Now, I’m partially to blame because I was also trying to work with them on a handprint project at the same time. Yes, I was multi-tasking our crafts. Shoot me.
But, if my plan works you will recognize my EVIL GENIUS! Yes, you will, and then I will rule the world!
Oh, sorry started channeling my inner super-villain. I’ll get back to my post.
Where was I?
Oh yes. The gluing on of the pumpkins.
And as you can see, Batman’s farmer made it onto the mural too. Though he did briefly lose his hand, but through the wonders of glue it is back on, and as good as ever.
And here’s our entire mural so far. It’s pretty darn awesome I think.
And, I’ll give you a preview of an upcoming post, and let you guess about the story behind this picture.
