I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – coffee filters are an amazing thing to stockpile when it comes to crafting with children. They are not super expensive, don’t take up much room in your stash and are really versatile when it comes to kid friendly activities. Take for example, the Tye Dye Coffee Filter Pumpkin my son & I recently made. It’s the perfect fall afternoon craft and it’s super easy to assemble {just how I like it!} If kids love coloring and spraying water – they are going to LOVE this! Fun for all ages so let’s grab our supplies!

Supplies:

* Coffee Filters
* Orange Dot Paint Marker {or regular orange marker}
* Brown Cardstock
* Scissors
* Green Pipe Cleaner
* Fake Leaves {Dollar Tree}
* Stapler
* Spray Bottle w/water
* Paper Plate and/or Paper Towels

Directions:

* Lay about 2/3 coffee filters on top of each other, than on a flat surface. Have your child decorate it however they want with the orange marker.
* Now grab the spray bottle and spray the coffee filters down, until the color starts to bleed. Lay it on a paper plate or paper towels to let it dry completely.
* Once dry, staple on the other pumpkin embellishments like a stem {brown cardstock} vein {curled pipe cleaner} and a leaf.* Display proudly.
