Again, I browsed around online for pumpkin craft inspiration and came across this post from Stacie. We didn’t have small bottles but we did have baby food jars, so I modified the craft a bit! Here’s our baby food jar pumpkins!
It was a very simple craft to make, with little mess for momma to deal with.
~ First, have your kids rip up orange construction paper, crumple it up and stuff into the jars. This is a great fine motor activity for little ones!
Ladybug was EXTREMELY into the stuffing part! She loved this! It kept her busy the entire time while I did the other things with the boys!
I was engaged with the kids for the rest of the steps, so no photos, but here’s what we did…
~cut jack-o-lantern faces out of black construction paper
~use a green Sharpie to color the jar lids
~twist a green pipe cleaner into a stem {Pac did his own, I did K and L’s}
~use a hot glue gun for it all!
They are now adorable little keepsakes and will certainly be brought out as decorations for years to come!
