Smiling Pumpkin Place Cards

Get the kids involved by asking them to decorate the pumpkins before assembling. They can even decorate their own place cards for use at the kids’ table.

Supplies:

Small pumpkins or gourds
Card stock, cut into small pieces
Marking pens
Colored markers or craft paint
Sharp knife

Directions:

Cut a slit across the top of miniature pumpkins in front of the stems (adults should do this step before the kids decorate the pumpkins or assemble the cards).

Decorate each pumpkin by drawing faces or designs with craft paint or colored markers. Let dry.

Write the name of each guest on a small card. To assemble, simply place a card it in the slit of each pumpkin (the stem in the back will help hold the card in place.)
