Pumpkin Windsocks

We adapted a cute activity from First-School by using brown paper bags instead to create little Pumpkin Windsocks.

First we painted our bags while we learned the color orange:

Orange is a carrot
Yellow is a pear

Purple is a plum

And brown is the bear.

Green is the Grass

And blue is the sky

Black is a cat

And red is cherry pie.

 Then after they dried Ms. Eileen cut fringes at the bottom of our bags. 

 Then we got to pick our own black felt pieces to put on for eyes, nose and mouth.

 And we made a pumpkin face :) 

After adding a simple string on top, our pumpkins were ready to blow in the wind!  

When the gentle breezes blow,

The trees are talking, oh so low.

But when they start to swing and sway,

I know they’re shouting, “Time to play!

Oooooooh went the wind and OUT went the lights and the two little pumpkins flew out of sight.
