Easy Pumpkin Halloween Kids Crafts from Martha Stewart

 Entry #690, October 5, 2011

Halloween and October is a great time to let kids show their imagination. Whether you enjoy decorating and carving pumpkins or making a pumpkin talk,  your kids should try one of these fun and easy Halloween kids crafts from Martha Stewart.

Pumpkin Project – Candy Character

Set an intact pumpkin atop a clear, candy-filled container, then give kids an assortment of candy for decorating. This character sports pearly white mini marshmallows for teeth, a construction paper hat with a hole cut out for the stem, and black licorice eyes.

Pumpkin Bird Feeder

For a seasonal supplement to your regular bird feeder, cut a 3- to 5-pound pumpkin in half; scoop out, leaving a 1/2-inch thick wall. Cut a 1/2-inch-deep groove in the rim for pumpkin seeds. For perches, poke holes and insert twigs. To hang, knot two lengths of twine together in center; tack knot to feeder bottom. Fill with birdseed. For bird feeder instructions, click here.

Wise Owl Pumpkin

Here, two miniature pumpkins become a wise owl. Secure pumpkins together with skewers. For eyes, push toothpicks through the tips of two pumpkin seeds, insert in pumpkin, and fan out slightly; repeat several times. A pearberry completes each. To add a chrysanthemum plume, make a hole with a toothpick and insert stem. For the beak, dig out a small opening and wedge in an almond.

Talking Pumpkin

Eeek — it’s alive! Make a jack-o’-lantern talk using an old baby monitor. Place the parents’ unit inside the pumpkin. Kids can hide, then speak into the transmitter whenever trick-or-treaters come near. We cut up a synthetic carvable pumpkin, but this project works just as well with the real kind.

Carve synthetic pumpkins with the same tools you would use to carve a real pumpkin. Instead of cutting a lid, make an opening in the bottom big enough for the monitor. To make sure that no one sees the unit, use pushpins to tack a piece of black fabric or paper behind the pumpkin face.
