Let’s say
you don’t feel like carving the 35 or so odd little pumpkins that you just
bought at the local farm festival (ok, so maybe I haven’t ever bought that many
– but it has come close). This children’s art activity takes the actual knife
work out of the picture. You can even do this one yourself – the result is
quite crafty and gives that added sparkle to a Halloween party table or just
dresses up your doorstep. Keep in mind, you’re using glue. That means the
glitter pumpkin isn’t a wet weather outdoor craft. If you put it outside the
glue is likely to run.
I started
this art activity out as a plain no-carve sparkle glue drip pumpkin. It turned
out well, but I had quite a lot of glitter left over (I always save the extra
sparkly stuff in a bag after crafting). I added a mini pumpkin to the glitter bag
and got a disco ball effect. So, this project actually has two parts: 1. The
glue drip pumpkin and, 2. A finger paint glue (with no actual paint) glitter
shaker version.
Here’s What
You’ll Need:
·
A
pumpkin – I used a smallish size and a teeny tiny mini one. But, any size will
work.
·
Clear
drying school glue
·
Glitter
·
A
plastic bag
Here’s What
to Do:
1. Prep your work area. I always put a
piece of card stock or scrap paper under any glitter art activity. When you’re
done you can empty the excess glitter from the paper into the bag to use for
the second project option.
2. Drip glue over the top of the
pumpkin. I found it easier to open the lid of the glue container. Your child
may not be able to control the flow of glue perfectly well, but it will help
him to build fine motor skills and a bit of self-control too!
3. Sprinkle glitter over the glue. Use
one color or combine a few.
4. Shake off the excess glitter onto the
paper underneath. Spill the glitter into the bag.
5. Take out the next pumpkin.
6. ‘Finger paint’ glue over the surface.
7. Pop the pumpkin into the glitter bag.
8. Shake the pumpkin around.
9. Pull the pumpkin out to reveal a
disco ball-like Halloween no-carve pumpkin!
