Crafty Pumpkin & MAYA ROLLS OVER!

About a week ago, we started working on a little pumpkin craft.  Kate and I glued several popsicle sticks together and Kate painted them orange.

Step 1: Glue popsicle sticks together.

Step 2: Set up children for painting.

Step 3: Paint pumpkins orange and glue a green pipe cleaner stem on.
FYI, I just accordion folded the pipe cleaner and hot glued it to the back.

While our pumpkins were drying, Maya decided that she was ready to roll and rolled from her tummy to her back several times!  So we put our pumpkins aside and applauded our littlest lady on her BIG accomplishment!

Just a few little people to inspire her rolling.

Getting her lean on!

And BOOM!  Just like that, completely rolled over!

So proud of her accomplishment!

Then, our pumpkin craft sat to the side for several days.  Each time I asked Kate if she wanted to finish it she was not interested.  At least, until today!  I hand drew a pumpkin face on each pumpkin and gave Kate some black paint to paint the face in.

Step 4: Draw pumpkin faces in.

Step 5: Set up child for paint again.

Step 6: Paint pumpkin faces black.

Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the finished product.  I could've sworn I did, but I don't, so you'll have to trust me when I say these turned out to be really cute little pumpkins.  We ended up giving one of ours to Kate's Mimi and Papaw, but you could totally add a magnet backing and plop it on a fridge or other magnetic surface.  For our purpose, we left them as we made them and just set them up against a backing.
