Items we used:
- two paper plates
- orange tempera paint
- sponge paint brush
- black, green, and brown construction paper
- stapler
I drew the eyes, nose, and mouth on black construction paper.
I drew a stem with brown paper, and a leaf with the green construction paper.
They began by painting both of their paper plates.
Tempera paints dry fast and these paper plates were very absorbent.
After they dried I stapled the two plates together. They boys added the Jack-O-Lantern features, stem and leaf.
Very simple and fun craft!

Very cute -- and much neater than actually carving a real pumpkin. :)
Very cute and perfect for the younger children. I would love you to share it at my new link party at http://craftymomsshare.blogspot.com/2011/10/sharing-saturday.html. Thank you!
How fun! I like your idea to use two paper plates to make more of a pumpkin body. We made something similar with one plate. http://www.messforless.net/2011/10/paper-plate-pumpkin-patch.html
