Take an ordinary pumpkin and turn it into an extraordinary book character.
Get a pumpkin (real or artificial) and decorate it as a book character (middle grade or picture book). Use paint, stickers, glue, etc. but, no cutting allowed. Then make up three clues about your pumpkin’s identity and write them on the outside of a folded index card (or 3x5 piece of cardstock). Inside the card, write the character’s name, the creator’s name, and homeroom teacher.
Pumpkin delivery starts next Monday, October 21 and continues through Friday, October 25. The Pumpkin Parade will be October 28-31. Pumpkin Pickup is November 4-8.
