After our orange prints from Monday evening dried I cut some of the circles out. Then on Tuesday afternoon Isaiah helped me decorate a few of the orange prints and make them into jack-o-lanterns. He loved telling me what shapes to draw to make the eyes, nose, and mouth.
For some reason rhombus nose face is his favorite! He has talked about rhombus face MANY times throughout the past two days.
Since we had crayons out to make the faces he wanted to use them to color...and trace his hands. I know hand turkeys are a little early, but he was in the mood. We are already half way done with October and I am just getting my jack-o-lanterns up so I figured it was best just to make them now and then we can really enjoy them.
I tried to teach Isaiah how to make a collage, but he wasn't very interested. But later in the afternoon I read him a fall book that mentioned making a collage...so maybe it helped him at least learn a new vocabulary word.
I have noticed that when I get out art supplies Isaiah is entertained for hours! This was the case on Tuesday also. He asked for stickers...so after digging through my many stickers I even successfully found fall themed stickers for him to make pictures. He loved the barn and tractor stickers!
When Daddy got home on Tuesday evening he and Isaiah got to make Daddy and Isaiah hand print turkeys.
He also liked showing Daddy his other crafts from the day.
After making all these fun crafts we organized them and displayed them on our art wall. Isaiah loves talking about his fall art!

What great artwork! That was an excellent idea to make the orange prints into pumpkins. Your display wall is perfect! We need something like that too.
