Funny Pumpkins
Students first make pumpkins out of clay. Students watch a demonstration on how to make a simple pinch pot and then smooth it out and add indentations to it to create the ridged texture of a pumpkin. After adding a stem, the students can begin using their imaginations to add decorative details to embellish these cute little pumpkins! Anything goes.
