Night Time Pumpkins

We drew pumpkins and leaves with black oil pastels.  Then we painted them using only red, yellow and blue paint!  It was like magic.  Mixing colours is fun.  This activity was inspired by Deep Space Sparkle's lesson on starlit pumpkins.



Red + Yellow = Orange Pumpkins
Blue + Yellow = Green Leaves
Red + Blue Yellow =  Brown Stems

We used chalk pastels to add details.  We smudged our moons to make them glow.




Aren't they beautiful!
