Milk Carton Pumpkin

I kind of made this up as we went along, but it turned out to be really easy and cute.

I took an empty milk carton and added a tiny bit of water. Then Westley squeezed in a lot of paint. I put the cap back on real tight and he shook and turned the milk carton until it was completely orange. 
Then I let him use scissors (which he has been banned from since he cut Will's hair) and he cut up a piece of black construction paper.


We picked out some that would make a good pumpkin face and he glued them on with tacky glue. I made the leaves for the top.


Now our cute little pumpkin is out front with the rest of our Halloween decorations!


Westley asked, Can we do it again? I told him we'll have to drink a lot of milk first.
