    3. Put a green pipe cleaner through the hole.
    4. Twist pipe cleaner around itself so it stays attached.
    5. Using a marker or crayon, wrap your pipe cleaner around it, and slide the pipe cleaner off to make spirals.

    What I love about this super easy craft is that you can let your kids really work on it and get creative. There are no scissors to deal with! No glue to clean up! It’s all easy to make and really it can be as creative as you want!

    If you want to go ever further, you can use things like sequins, stickers, or other materials to really jazz up your pumpkins. Color it red and use a short brown pipe cleaner for a stem, and you have an apple! But I don’t know if I would put a face on an apple!

    It’s just a cute and easy project to do with the kids this fall!

    Keep your craft supply cabinet or drawer fully stocked with some of our favorite craft supply basics so you’ll be ready no matter what time of year!

      We are leaving for a 5-month trip today. When talking about it, we explained our kids we’ll be back for the fall and they are so excited to “see the fall” once we come back. Needless to say, we need to prepare these kinds of props to make our home extra fall when we arrive.
