Pumpkin in tempera paint

*Draw a pumpkin.  The shape of a pumpkin is like a letter “C” and a backwards letter “C” put together. Add the gooves of the pumpkin. From the center to the left side of the pumpkin, the groove lines are like a letter “C” and from center to the right side of the pumpkin the groove lines are like a backwards letter “C.”

*Draw a stem on top of the pumpkin.  Draw a wavy vine from the stem and add leaves.  Add leaves to the bottom of the pumpkin so it looks like it is sitting on a pile of leaves. 

*Go over all pumpkin lines with orange crayon and all leaf lines with green crayon.
