Secret Message Pumpkins

Sep 23, 2019

We chose pumpkins, but with a little imagination (and some more paint!) you can make an assortment of Halloween-themed message containers, such as mummies, witches, Frankenstein, werewolves, vampires and more!

Materials

Directions

1

Cut the egg cartons so that the 2 halves can be taped together to make a whole egg shape. If your carton holds a dozen eggs, you should be able to make 6 pumpkins.

2

Paint the outside of the egg carton pieces orange.

3

While you wait for them to dry, write some messages to put inside. You can also put some little treats inside as well.

4

Poke a hole through the top and add a green pipe cleaner for the stem.

5

Put your messages inside. Tape the 2 halves together with clear tape.

6

Add the finishing touches with your black marker, such as a face.

What will your message say?
