Square Pumpkin Craft Activity

This Square Pumpkin Craft is the perfect cut and paste activity for the month of October! I recommend working on it after you have read the story, “The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin” by Joe Troiano. Not only is it easy prep for teachers, but students will love creating their very own pumpkin craft and seeing it hung up on your fall themed bulletin board.

What’s included in this pdf:

• A photograph of the craft activity
• Step-by-step directions
• Templates that can be copied directly onto colored cardstock or construction paper and then cut out by students. 
• Labeled templates that can be xeroxed onto cardstock, cut by the teacher, and then traced onto colored paper and cut by students. Labels will include the name of the pattern, the color to use, and how many of each pattern to cut (Ex: Body Cut 1 Red).
• Coloring templates (a separate 2 page pdf to send to your students for distance learning)

Here are some fun ways to use the craft:

• study on the letters p or s
• practicing fine motor skills
• bulletin boards
• door and hallway decorations
• small group station
• pair it with a worksheet, activity, or book
• reward or class party
