DIY Magnetic Jack-O-Lantern

We made DIY MAGNETS last year.  Today I thought it would be fun to use random things around the playroom to create more magnets for some jack-o-lantern fun.  The great thing about this is that all you need are some magnets and random things around the house.  Here is what I did....

  • I printed out a pumpkin on a MAGNET SHEET and cut it out
  • I drew some pumpkin mouths on a magnet sheet (with a Sharpie marker) and cut them out
  • I used buttons, baby food jar tops, googlie eyes, nuts, container tops, etc to create eyes and noses - adhering the magnets to the back using a glue gun


The Invitation




There was a purpose for the extra noses....I just cant remember what he told me because it was a made-up word.  LOL

We took the emotion cards out to see if we could make pumpkins that have the same feelings as the pics.....fun!!
