Your children will love reading Stumpkin and creating this fun Stumpkin art project.

I decided today to do something I haven’t done in absolutely forever: write a blog post just for fun, without worrying about word count or SEO or the quality of my photos or really any of that. I just want to write, post an idea, share an Amazon link, and publish. So here’s my latest blog post! I began teaching second grade this year {I taught 3rd last year}, and I have become absolutely obsessed with picture books. I have probably bought a hundred new and used picture books since the beginning of the summer. One of my new favorite books? Stumpkin by Lucy Ruth Cummins. It’s the story of a pumpkin without a stem being sold in a store in the city. I love the simple illustrations and story. It’s such a fun take on a Halloween tale. After reading this book, I was inspired to make this simple art project. It’s great for children {and perhaps adults} of all ages!

 

 

Stumpkin Art Project Materials:

  • Card stock in white, black, orange, & green
  • Thin black marker
  • Glue stick
  • Scissors
  • a copy of Stumpkin by Lucy Ruth Cummins

 

Stumpkin Art Project Directions:

Step 1: Start by gathering your materials. If you don’t have card stock, you can use construction paper, printer paper, or even just white paper with markers for the other colors. Be creative and flexible with how children create this project. I was inspired by the image below of the buildings with the jack o’ lanterns in the windows. 

Step 2: Hold your white paper vertically to resemble the building on the right. Cut out four windows {or two or three or even 6 – it’s totally up to you!} You can make them even with a ruler and an Xact-o knife, you can make them with scissors like I did, ragged and uneven. I think the second way is more fun!

Step 3: Glue a piece of black paper or card stock to the back of your white paper building. Out of the orange, yellow, and green papers, cut your pumpkins. I made sure to include two of the characters in the story: the yellow gourd, and, of course, Stumpkin! The other two were my own ideas for pumpkins. 

Step 4: The last step is to draw the window ledges/trim. I did this with a thin black marker. Again, you can use a ruler to draw straight lines, but I decided to free-hand it. I like that it makes it look more like the illustrations in the book.

Your Stumpkin art project is complete! Isn’t it just adorable? This project is fun for all elementary-age children. My 5th grade daughter had fun making one of her own.
