Geometric Pumpkins

Geometric Pumpkins

1st Grade

Randomly thought of this one around Halloween time.  A festive idea while reviewing shapes.  

Step 1.  Discuss the different types of shapes (squares, circles, triangles, etc.)

Step 2.  Discuss different shapes to use on jack o'lanterns.  

Step 3.  With a pencil, draw a jack o'lantern with different geometric shapes.

Step 4.  Color in everything on the page but the eyes, nose, mouth, and background.  

Step 5.  Paint the background with black watercolor.

Step 6.  Put glue on the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Step 7.  Sprinkle black glitter on the glue areas and shake off the extra.
