I found the rhyme "Once I Had a Pumpkin" on the King County Library System website. You start with a plain pumpkin and the next verse has you add eyes, nose, mouth and teeth. I'd sing a version of this as I created a jack-o-lantern on my flannel board. I then put up a number of felt pumpkins and handed out features & let the kids come up and make their own faces. The features were many fun foam stickers made to decorate pumpkins which I stuck to felt & cut out. My faces are plain compared to what the kids did but I thought they'd give an idea of a finished face. My pumpkins were various shades of orange and brown.
I just noticed no noses, but I have some of those that I hand out too, as well as hair, hats & a few other items. I hope you try this and have as much fun as we have had.
