Lego Stamped Pumpkin Art
Harper and I love to paint with, well, anything but a paint brush! Last week she came home from school and asked me if I wanted to make something with paint, and how could I resist the invitation? This lego pumpkin idea was just the thing. It pairs cute and creepy together just right.
This is such an easy activity, and it is fun for kids of all ages! Even Rolf, who is 12 now, was curious about this and told us it was a "cool idea" before dashing back to his busy preteen activities.
Directions:
Pour a small amount of orange, black and green paint onto a paper plate.
Offer your child legos in assorted sizes and paper.
Encourage your child to dip a lego into the orange paint and make the shape of a pumpkin.
When you have filled in the shape of the pumpkin, dip a lego into the black paint and make a face.

Paper Plate Crafts for Kids
Paper plates have always been one of my kids favorite things to craft with. There are so many possibilities for making something fantastic, out of a plain old paper plate! This collection has some really fun ideas for your family to try out. You might not ever look at a pack of plates the same again.
You might notice there are a few of my craft projects listed below. I have been crafting things out of paper plates and Styrofoam bowls since I was a little girl.
