Pumpkin Face Puppet and Halloween Finger Play

We have been having so much fun with our pumpkin face puppets! My two year old is very excited that she knows all her shapes so we made our faces out of different shapes.  The puppets couldn’t be easier to make. All you need are a bunch of paper shapes, orange paper plates, and craft sticks.

 Here was her favorite one–she is a big fan of the oval mouth!

Then the older kids and I taught her the Pumpkin Face song and finger play.  And she has been singing it ever since!

 The finger play is pretty self-explanatory, but if you want to see them in action click on the video below!
