Pumpkin Seed Autumn Tree

Autumn has always been a favorite season of ours! The crisp cool weather and beautiful changing colors and of course the beginning of a fun filled holiday season.. what’s not to love!

For today’s craft we made good use of our leftover pumpkin seeds we saved from Halloween and made this autumn tree craft! The kids really enjoyed this simple craft and they turned out beautiful!

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

Pumpkin Seeds
Food Coloring
Vinegar
Plastic Cups
Plastic Spoons
Brown Marker
White Printer Paper
School Glue

DIRECTIONS:

STEP 1: We began by rinsing and baking our pumpkin seeds in the oven.

STEP 2: Once they were dried out we began on coloring them. We mixed 1/2 cup cold water and 1 1/2 tablespoons of vinegar in each cup. Then added a few drops of food coloring in each cup. We stirred the food coloring till it was all blended together. Then added the pumpkin seeds.

STEP 3: We made sure to stir the seeds in together to have them all coated. Leave the seeds to sit for at least 30 minutes.

STEP 4: After that time, spoon the seeds out and pat dry on a paper towel. Leave them to dry completely.

STEP 5: Next we drew our trees on white paper.

STEP 6: Then the kids started decorating their bare branches with colorful pumpkin seeds by glueing them on.

That’s it! These turned out so beautiful and we had a great time making these together!

Happy fall y’all!
