Preschool Pumpkin Art

For this project we took a paper plate and colored heavily with yellow orange and green in any random spot that the threes chose to color.  Next we added orange, yellow and a dab of red paint that they spread with two fingers.  Then we added a green construction leaf that I hand cut and a brown construction stem. They dabbed green paint on the leaf.  Last with my help we made the ridges on the pumpkins using the eraser end of a pencil.  

We discussed real pumpkins and the basic shape of a pumpkin.  This is a good art project to do after you have cut open a pumpkin for examination.
