- Colored Cardstock Paper
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- Craft Scissors

Directions:
- First things first – decorate your paper plate to look like a pumpkin. Start off by covering it with ORANGE craft paint and then adding a few lines of brown to the center, to give the “pumpkin” some dimension.
- When done decorating the paper plate, set it aside till later.
- Now grab all your sheets of cardstock and scissors.
- Cut out a simple hot dog shape out of your “choice of colored” cardstock paper, for his body.
- Next adhere some wiggle eyes and draw on a smile with the Sharpie marker, on the larger cardstock piece.
- Set that piece aside.
- Now, out of the brown cardstock paper, cut out TWO antennas for on his head, as well as the “stem” for on top of the pumpkin.
- To finish off the Pumpkin Snail project, staple or glue the snail’s cardstock body to the decorated paper plate from the first step.
- Follow that up by adhering the antennas in place as well.
- Finally, curl the green pipe cleaner with your fingers and staple it onto the top of the paper plate.
- Go ahead and add any other embellishments you see fit.
