My son was keen on 'Angry Birds' this year (school library's pumpkin contest) and he bought some pumpkins worth $4 (yes, that cheap, some farm off the Wisconsin highway!) and decided to work on their shapes. The results after acrylic painting, stick-on foam, markers and googly eyes weren't too bad! It was simple to do (photos are self-explanatory and my 7 year old did it without much help) plus it was loads of fun - Enjoy :)
He used pins to often secure the features/ the pumpkins were soft and pushing pins into them rather easy! I helped him hot glue the googly eyes.....
He decided that the gourd, would make for the bird with a large beak - the boomerang bird and the mushroom like pumpkin would be great for 'helmet' piggy. With that in mind, he started painting and applying their features.
He had to constantly refer to angry birds made by others or their pictures/ clip art and finally he pulled it off!
