Perfect Pumpkin Party Favors!

Fall means lots of fun and festivities. It can also mean classroom parties. There are so many rules now for what is allowed when it comes to snacks, but we have a crafty idea that you can bring in or even have the kids make! I wonder which pumpkin oranges you will create first?!?!

Pumpkin Oranges – Jack o’ Lanterns

Supplies:

To get started, open your package of mandarin orange fruit cups and grab your permanent marker!

Draw a pumpkin/jack-o-lantern face on the mandarin orange fruit cup.

These scary (and not so scary) cups are ready to eat and enjoy! I really like that the kiddos can be super creative with these! Plus, I also like that they don’t take me long to make if I wanted to make a whole class set too!

Pumpkin Oranges – Pumpkin Patch Style

Supplies:

Take your fruit cups and flip them upside down.

Cut the green paper into stem shape, and also cut a strip for the vine.

Wrap green paper around a pencil to get the vine shape.

Using tape or glue, attach vines and stems to the fruit cups.

You have just created the sweetest pumpkins from the patch!

ORANGE you glad you found these cute ideas? My family and I had a lot of fun creating these scary, and not so scary, pumpkins and we know you will have a great time creating them as well!
