We made these fun pumpkins one day and have been playing with them a lot lately.
We started by painting an egg carton orange.
Big Sister then helped me paint 12 golf tees a nice shade of green.
Once the paint dried, Little Guy got busy hammering the golf tees into the egg carton.
He is a huge fan of hammering golf tees into egg cartons. We first did it here. It’s such a great fine motor activity and just SO much fun 🙂
I cut the pumpkins apart and we got busy playing! They went first into a fall sensory bin. Perfect for hiding in corn, counting, seeking, and exploring! I think we’ll be using our little pumpkins a lot this fall 🙂
Oh yes! This will be a perfect sensory bin project for my preschoolers this fall. THANK YOU!!! This is soooo cute.
Thank you! We had a lot of fun with it and I hope your preschoolers do too!
So cool! I love combining activities with sensory play. Will you come share if you have a minute?

plan to add this to my fall round up with a link and photo. Please let me know if this is not ok:)
This is a great way to make your own hands-on craft about pumpkins. I will try this one this year with my kiddos! Thank you for linking up this week to the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop 🙂
I love your egg carton pumpkins! We have a fall sensory bin with corn and some other fall items and these pumpkins would make a nice addition!
