* Orange Yarn {affiliate link}
* School Glue
* Scissors
* Green/Brown Cardstock
* Pencil

Directions:

* First have your child place a good amount of glue ALL over the paper plate.
* Now grab your orange yarn. Cut some long pieces off and have children place it on the glue covered paper plate. Repeat until the paper plate is completely covered and looks like an orange pumpkin.
* To finish off the Yarn Pumpkin, trace your child’s hand on green cardstock and trim it out. Now cut out a stem out of the brown cardstock. Grab both pieces and staple them to the paper plate. Set it aside and let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
