Our students go to library once a week during Specials. I think our librarian could do one with each class. I think she'd need to spray paint the pumpkins at home and pre-cut the materials. <br />The younger grades, could draw the steps into a pre-made document that had enough squares for each item as you're adding (I can see this clearly in my mind, but I'm not sure it's coming out correctly when typed). <br />For the older students, give them choices of what to add to create the character. You could give the "boys" and "girls" a large chart paper with a blank pumpkin on it and have them illustrate the main character then challenge them to re-create the character onto an actual pumpkin. You could also tie in a little math by talking about 2-D and 3-D objects or even symmetry. <br />Not sure how you're going to do it.
