This craft was included in the first ever October issue but I decided to share it again. This is a neat little cardboard pumpkin you can make as a photo prop. I don’t recommend leaving it with your rats unsupervised though.

What you will need:
Cardboard
Scissors
Paint (orange and green), nontoxic, child safe is best
Staples and stapler
Method:
Take a piece of cardboard and cut out a half pumpkin shape.


Repeat the process five more times.

Paint both sides orange.

Paint the stalks green.

Staple all the pieces together and paint over the staples.
