I love having days off from work and spending them with Nolan. Today was a productive day around the house and running errands. My husband tells me that I should relax when Nolan naps, but I have too much of my Mom in me and I need to do something. Nolan is very excited for Halloween this year and he has now changed his nightly reading choices to Halloween themed books. I decided to make him a felt pumpkin (thank you, Pinterest). Nolan has been having a lot of fun with Mr. Potato Head as well, so this is my Halloween take on that toy.
All you need: few pieces of felt, velro, glue gun and scissors
Step One: Cut out two pieces for the pumpkin and a stem. Glue the pieces together. Glue the stem on one of those pieces.
Step Two: Cut out a piece for the backpack and flap. Glue gun the edges of the backpack and lid (Don't glue them shut!) I then applied a piece of velcro to keep it closed.
Step Three: Cut out different variations of eyes, noses and lips. I made a total of sixteen pieces, including a mustache and a pirate patch.
This was a simple activity and I think Nolan will have a blast. It is very portable for car rides and errands. Looking forward to seeing his reaction when he wakes up (hopefully not for another hour)!
