Class 1 – Pumpkin Fun Paper Plates Part 2

Class 1 continued their exploration about pumpkins in preparation for their upcoming pumpkin patch trip this Friday. They learned about how pumpkins come in many different sizes and shapes. They learned that they are often used for decoration to make jack-o-lanterns with all kinds of different faces. They even learned that they can be used to make pumpkin pie and are so so delicious. Then they continue to paint their paper plates orange from yesterday followed by adding orange tissue paper for texture. This was a fun yet simple art activity where we were able to use our fine motor skills to paint and glue on tissue paper to add texture to our pumpkin plates. First we added more paint to our pumpkins and then once they dried, we spread some glue all over our plates and then we used our fingers to carefully place our tissue paper onto our pumpkins. To add a touch of sparkle, we sprinkled gold glitter. Class 1 did an awesome job with their pumpkin craft. Overall, we had a blast while learning about the physical features on a pumpkin by creating them ourselves. Nicely done, Class 1!
