Halloween Mummy Pumpkin

Look how proud she is of her pumpkin!

I know that this may not seem like a craft exactly, but we thought our Mummy Pumpkin was pretty creative. We started by painting eyes on the pumpkin and letting it dry (although you could also use large wiggle eyes too). Then we wrapped it in cheesecloth and tucked in several large plastic bugs.

It turned out better than we thought it would and was a lot less messy than carving it or painting the whole thing.

We submitted this in a local school contest and won first place... which especially tickled our daughter who did most of the wrapping, even though she was only four at the time.
