Glittered Pumpkins

Kids can help bring a sparkle to the house with these glittered pumpkins that will last for months.

With a medium-size paintbrush, spread a layer of white glue over the surface of a small pumpkin. Hold the pumpkin over a paper plate or a sheet of newspaper to catch excess glitter. Sprinkle powdery glitter over pumpkin in several colors (we used penny, persimmon, orange, and pink champagne), covering completely. Let dry for about an hour; shake off excess glitter. Coat stem with brown acrylic paint; let dry.

Candy Corn on the Cob

Supplies:-candy corn-craft foam (orange, yellow, brown)-scissors-glue-hole punch-ribbon (green)
While reading stories about that first Thanksgiving, kids can make the very food that had a starring role: corn! Cut the corncob shapes out of orange, yellow, and brown craft foam. Glue candy corn all over the fronts. Punch two holes in the top of each ear for a big green ribbon hanger. Make three to hang together on a door or on the back of each dining room chair.
