Salt Dough Pumpkins

| She'z Crafty

These little salt dough pumpkins are super simple.  If your kids can roll a ball they can help with their own pumpkin.

We used:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup water
Food coloring (you can use paint after if you perfer)
stick for the stem
Toothpick/Skewer

Mix salt, flour, and water. I used a mixer to get my color to mix evenly.

The kids each rolled a ball

I helped them put the lines in with a wooden Skewer.

We topped it off with a small stick for the pumpkin stem.

We baked for 3 hrs at 250.

Leaf Rubbing

| She'z Crafty

Here is the best way I have found to do this. Always turns out beautiful!

Here is what we used:
A handful of leafs
Laminator
Tape
Crayons

We grabbed a few leaves and sent them through the laminator.

Then we used white printer paper and taped it on top, just so the paper wouldn’t move.

We took a few crayons without the wrapper and let the kids rub away.
