Last fall I saw the idea for refrigerator pumpkins with face pieces in
FamilyFun Magazine and have been anxious to recreate them ever since. It was pretty quick and easy and since the only thing we didn't have on hand was magnetic sheets ($1.50 with coupon at Joann's) it was also very cheap.
 |
my supplies: magnetic sheets, orange & black construction paper, white pen, tacky glue
*i know they have self adhesive sheets but my Joann's didn't carry them |
 |
| glued (very messily) and ready to cut |
Both the boys were quite enthused when they discovered them after rest time :)
Hopefully it will keep them entertained until we carve real pumpkins.
Great idea!

oh my gosh, genius! I wish I was a little kid so it'd be totally normal to play with this. Maybe I'll make it anyways... haha

This idea rocks! I love it. I can actually use this with my preschool students. Thanks for sharing. I agree, so brillant!
ReplyDeleteI saw this idea last year also, it's awesome. Last year for my daughters birthday party we did something similar and played pin the face on the pumpkin.

My preschool class had a similar idea but made from felt. I love this for homeschoolers and play! Thanks for sharing on It's Playtime.
ReplyDeletelove this! We did it with snowmen last year - but pumpkins would be so much more versatile! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I love this! I think my guys would really get a kick out of this, so we'll have to make some fridge pumpkins of our own. :)

We did something similar last winter with snowmen - they're so fun! I think jack-o-lanterns would add even more fun, because you could have fun with faces! I featured this on a Halloween edition of It's Playtime this week. Come play again!
ReplyDeleteWe gave you a shout out on our blog! We didn't have orange construction paper left, so we took your idea here and made monster faces. :) http://boredombustingmommy.blogspot.com/2011/10/mister-monster.html
