A family tradition that has been carried over from our childhoods is carving pumpkins each year at Halloween. It’s a little early for us to carve pumpkins yet this year and make jack a lanterns, but that does not stop us from creating cute jack a lantern crafts.

Do you remember that puffy paint bat we did a couple of weeks ago? We used the same process for this puffy paint jack a lantern kid craft.
Supplies:
- Shaving cream
- School glue
- Orange paint or food coloring
- Sponge paint brush
- Plastic lid
- Black foam paper
Directions:
1. Make puffy paint by mixing equal parts shaving cream and glue. Mix in orange paint or food coloring until reaches the desired color.
2. Use paint brush and dad/glob paint onto plastic lid applying it thickly.
3. Cut jack a lantern face from black foam paper and apply to lid right away.
Note: It will take several hours to dry completely. We let ours dry overnight.
