 Pumpkin Head Twirlers Oktoberfest activity. |
What you'll need:
thin cardboard
pencil
markers
scissors
plastic drinking straws
chenille stems
tape
First, draw a little person about 4 inches tall on a piece of thin cardboard. For the person's head, draw a pumpkin with a face on it. Give it a funny hat if you want. Use the markers to decorate it.
Cut out the pumpkin-head person and tape chenille stems to its back to form arms and legs. Use one horseshoe-shaped piece for both arms, and another horseshoe-shaped piece for both legs.
Wrap the ends of the arms around a drinking straw so your pumpkin-head person is holding on like a trapeze artist. When you twirl the ends of the straw, watch the tricks begin!
Make another pumpkin-head person and wrap the ends of its legs around the straw. Make a whole circus of pumpkin-head performers.
Everyone loves watching the leaves change colors. Learn how to preserve those beautiful fall leaves in the next section.
