How do children make pumpkin seed crafts?

“Change your imagination to a more colorful one, the colors of autumn leaves should match it perfectly.”

Our last project was an autumn one, and it concerns Halloween decorations – a scary pumpkin.

As I mentioned before, the pumpkin should not only be associated with Halloween, but also with the many benefits it has. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-are-the-benefits-of-the-scary-pumpkin-design/

Our pumpkin seeds are a great food for birds, I eat them myself as a snack or you can cook a delicious pumpkin cream.

In today’s art, we will show another use of pumpkin seeds, namely decorative. In the creative corner, my children suppose to create a hedgehog out of pumpkin seeds and leaves. The autumn project, right?

Dora was pleased with the hedgehog card design. While my son realized his best friends Emma and Ella (twins) are having a birthday, so his design is birthday cards with flowers and butterflies. Not very autumn. As you know, this is my little puzzles art, not mine, so I accepted my son’s idea.

What little puzzles will be created today?

BIRTHDAY CARD from dry pumpkin seeds

What my little puzzles don’t need?

DISTURBING PARENTS

We don’t cut too much when designing the cards, so Dora (a two-year-old girl) did everything herself. I drew only the sketches with a pencil (flowers, hedgehogs, butterflies) on which the children stick pumpkin seeds. It was fun to see my 5-year-old boy with dedication and passion, stick dry pumpkin seeds on sketches of flowers, and Dora sticks pumpkin seeds in and out of the sketch.

I will show you how easy the DIY card project from pumpkin seeds is:

1. Paint the pumpkin seeds in your favorite color.

2. Use special containers such as play dough cups or plastic zip bags to separate the different colors of the wet pumpkin seeds.

TIPS:

*Better paint the day before and let the pumpkin seeds dry.

3. Divide all the colorful pumpkin seeds into small separate portions and place them on a tray.

4. Prepare sketches on the pieces of paper on which the children will stick the pumpkin seeds.

5. In places where there are sketches of flowers and butterfly, glue colored seeds. Choose your sketch suggestions.

6. Create your unique card in your style, colors, and visions.
