The Mom I Want to Be

 

A young boy tells how his family searched high and low for perfect pumpkins only to find the best ones in their own backyard. An entertaining story for kids and grown-ups alike, In Search of the Perfect Pumpkin blends lively text with superb illustrations. Also features fun facts, growing tips for pumpkins, and a recipe for the perfect pumpkin pie.

 

To do this activity you will need to gather the following materials:

 

 

Draw a pumpkin on the cardboard.  It doesn’t have to be perfect, pumpkins do come in all shapes and sizes. Since my pumpkin was so large, I added glue to sections at a time.  Once you add the glue start letting your babe place magazine scraps onto the pumpkin.  Add more glue and repeat the process until the pumpkin is completely covered with magazine scraps.

 

 

Once the pumpkin is completely covered, coat it in a layer of Mod Podge to make sure all the pieces are completely secured.  Then cut out and add a pumpkin leaf and/or use the pipe clear to add a spiral vine.
