Encourage
your students to each bring a small pumpkin to school. Hand out
candy to each student along with some straight pins. Have your
students each decorate his/her pumpkin by attaching pieces of
candy by sticking a straight pin through it and the pumpkin. Some
examples of candy you could use might include: licorice for lips,
gumdrops for eyes, taffy for noses, etc. Then take a trip over
to your local eldery care center or hospital and have your students
donate their pumpkins for a festive display for all to enjoy.
