This project works well with toddlers, too!
Water Bottle Pumpkin Jack-O-Lantern Craft
Supplies:
- Small plastic bottle
- Orange construction paper or scraps
- Black paper scraps
- Scissors (if desired)
- Glue
- Green permanent marker
1) Tear the orange paper in small pieces and stuff in the bottle.
2) Tear (or cut) the black paper for a Jack-O-Lantern face. Glue.
3) Use a permanent marker to color the cap green.
I was trying to dry out one of the bottles with a hairdryer when the plastic started to shrink up in the “stem” area! I liked how it turned out — and it reminded me of the book and DVD Spookley the Square Pumpkin!
This is so cute!
what a great idea! spookley is one of my favorite halloween books to share at home, and during library programming.
cute, easy idea~
Adorable!
What a cute idea! And very budget friendly too!
I love these! I'm linking to you in a post on the 26th! =)
My nine month old already loves tearing paper and I have a 2 year old who would love to stuff the paper into the bottles. What a family friendly project! Hopefully the 9 mo old won't eat too much paper.
This is such a cute way to reuse bottles.
Stacie,
I had found this idea someone else and we did it also. We had a great time with it 🙂 Too bad you are not still here we could get a center going 🙂

Thanks, Sandy! That would be fun! 🙂
