Autumn is here! It's a great time to make a cute reusable pumpkin. Put it on your porch, the hallway table, or get creative and group a few on a bale of hay come Halloween. No one will know it didn't come from the pumpkin patch!

You need:
• flexible vinyl ducting, available at home improvement stores
• orange paint
• paint brush
• stapler
• brown construction paper for the stem
• green leaf (from a craft store or make your own from construction paper)
• wire cutter
To make:
1. Measure and cut 30 to 40 cm of flexible vinyl ducting (the longer the piece the larger the pumpkin will be).
2. Cut lengthwise, using a wire cutter. (Be careful, the wire is sharp.)
3. Stretch out the flexible vinyl ducting. Join the two ends to make a ball, staple together leaving a small hole on top to place the stem.
4. Paint your pumpkin orange; let dry.
5. Fold a piece of brown construction paper to make a stem; add the leaf.
Use your imagination, be creative and have fun!
