We painted some pumpkin seeds today, to use in a later craft. Not sure that tempra paint was the best choice, but that's what we have. I'll post pictures of that when we do the craft next week.
In the mean time, we had tons of extra pumpkin seeds, so I armed each kid with glue and construction paper and we made pictures with pumpkin seeds. Lily and Jack made up stories to go with their pictures. Then they came and helped me make a turtle out of pumpkin seeds. They really liked my turtle, and Lily decorated it with pictures and our family's names. It was fun to do a craft alongside them and have they tell me all their thoughts on turtles.
A few days ago we painted some of the pumpkin seeds we'd scooped from our Halloween pumpkins. They were dry, so today we used them for a Pumpkin Seed Tree craft.
I cut the trees freehand from construction paper; the kids glued their pumpkin seed "leaves" all over the trees.
