& we talked about pumpkins...
& we talked about pumpkins...
is anyone growing pumpkins in their garden?
do you know that a pumpkin is a fruit? seeds inside = fruit
notice how the pumpkin is curvy & bumpy ~ no straight lines.
we talked about why it's good
to use recycled paper.
i brought along a whole cereal box.
i popped it open to show them
all the nifty shapes inside.
i showed them my pumpkin painting.
then i showed them the steps
{will add my step-by-step photo examples soon}

p.s. the cereal box material is perfect for paint.
it doesn't get soggy the way paper can,
and the paint dried very quickly.
