Paper Plate Pumpkins

The EASIEST Paper Plate Pumpkin

I love creating crafts from regular household items.  These little paper plate pumpkins fall right into that category.  An ordinary plates are transformed into wonderful toddler pumpkin:)  Since our house is on a budget, cheap craft materials fit our family perfectly!  Paper plates are readily available and relativity inexpensive. That makes them a win, win in my books!  I often buy ours at the dollar store.

Crafting with a toddler can be so rewarding.  I love watching them as they discover a new materials.  I also love seeing the excitement as they hand over their creation to someone special.  It makes all the mess worth it!  Although this craft is relatively low mess.
