Instructions
- Start by coloring and cutting out the pumpkin printable. It's a blank canvas for your child to bring to life with colors, fostering their artistic side.
- Make two parallel slits slightly longer than 2 inches where a jack-o-lantern’s eyes would be.
- Tape the colorful pumpkin in the middle of a piece of cardboard, by securing the sides of the pumpkin only and not the middle. Also ensure there is ample space on both sides for the letters.
- Cut out two strips of card stock, each about 2 inches thick. On one strip, write uppercase letters, and on the other, lowercase letters, leaving a few inches at the top for easy handling.
- Weave each strip through the slits you made for the eyes, transforming your pumpkin into a playful learning tool with a carousel of letters in its eyes!
- Cut out a jack-o-lantern’s mouth and eyes from black construction paper and glue them to the pumpkin, bringing it to life with a goofy grin.
- Next to the pumpkin, on the cardboard, draw dotted lines of each letter from the strips to create guides for tracing.
- To make your board wipeable and reusable, cover it with packing tape. Now, your child can use a washable marker to trace the letters, easily wiping it off to practice again.
