We started with a 9 x 12 inch orange paper and folded it hot dog style. We then cut slits along the folded edge of the paper (like a Chinese lantern). Next we took a 7 x 12 inch green paper and rolled it into a cylinder in glued it. We then added a strip of paper across the top of the cylinder to create a handle (this is also where students wrote their name). I then showed students how to curl paper by wrapping it around their pencil and warming it up with their hand. Students glued the curls (vines) and paper leafs to their handle. While students were working on this, I went around the room and stapled the orange paper to the green paper (the green paper is used to keep the pumpkin permanently plump). Students also added faces to their pumpkin if they wanted to make it into a jack-o-lantern.
