1. I purchased these wooden craft cubes from my local craft store. I used orange and green spray paint to paint each cube prior to completing this craft with my students.

2. My students used Elmer’s wood glue to adhere each cube together until they reached the desired shape for their pumpkins. This craft is so unique because it allows students to be creative and make their pumpkins a different shape and size.

3. Add a green wooden craft cube to the top of your pumpkin to resemble the stem of the pumpkin.
