I never thought we would be Angry Birds fans, but it has happened. Big brother found the App on my phone a couple weeks ago and got us addicted to it! Since he likes Angry Birds so much, I thought it would be a fun Sunday craft activity to paint our mini pumpkins to look like Angry Birds characters. Big brother was pretty excited about it 🙂
We started painting the pumpkins at 7:00 am (while we were still in our jammies!). We used acrylic paint which coated the pumpkins well. Only a couple needed two coats.
To make the faces, I printed out pictures of each bird from Google images and used those as a guide. I cut and traced most of the parts onto craft foam that I found at the Dollar Store. The beaks, eyes, and borders were drawn on with a black sharpie. Then the faces were glued onto the pumpkins with a hot glue gun.
We think these little Angry Birds pumpkins turned out pretty darn cute! Big brother says they all are his favorite 🙂
Update 8/16/2012:
Amy of Creative Kids Snacks suggested making a Caillou pumpkin! I thought it was such a fabulous idea that we used our extra pumpkins for exactly that! So here is our Caillou and Gilbert pumpkins 🙂

I can't believe I didn't think of this – these are amazing! Have pinned them on Pinterest. 🙂
Amazing and super cute. I've got six mini pumpkins lined up on the TV stand (I bought them with the intention of decorating them…about 3 weeks ago haha). Thanks for sharing this – I think you've inspired me to decorate my pumpkins 🙂
Adorable! Such a cute idea!
YES! Great thinking! Adorable idea – thanks for inspiring me! My toddlers might love a Caillou one!

Thank you for sharing your craft! I have 2great nieces that loved Caillou and Gilbert.
They are Mahleah 4, Arianna 2,and are growing so fast! Although they are 50yrs younger I love the time we spending together. You name it, We stomp in mud puddles play in the rain, we creative many things we sing,dance etc. And this will bring back a memory of a time we shared with each other, and remember the silly, happy,goofy,fun times we share.God Bless you and your family and Thank you BS
