I thought that showing my Kindergarten students how to make pumpkins out of paper strips would be a good paper sculpting introduction, teaching them some basic sculpture methods, as well as being just seasonal enough to hold their interest. I did not emphasize jack- o- lanterns, rather pumpkins, since many had recently been to the pumpkin patch. We did add googly eyes, because well, there were a lot of steps to this project, and adding eyes seems to be a great "carrot" for students to follow directions.
