DLTK's Crafts for Kids:
Pumpkin Sock Craft

Thanks so much to Tracy for sharing this great idea for a pumpkin craft and to my daughter Kaitlyn for making me one!

This is a great way to use up some of those single socks who've lost their mate.

sock with a heel (white or another light color) -- it can be any size (daddy's for big pumpkins and the kids for little ones)
orange paint (tempra or craft paint)
green paint,
black construction paper,
scissors,
glue,
paint brushes (medium size)
stuffing for sock (cotton balls, fiberfill or even crumpled paper will work)
rubber bands or green yarn/string

Stuff sock foot with choice of stuffing material and tie off where foot and tube part meet with rubber band or green yarn/string.
Paint the entire foot of sock (area below the tied off area- this becomes the pumpkin) orange and allow to dry a bit before continuing.
While waiting for paint to dry a bit, cut shapes for jack-o-lantern face from black construction paper. You can do standard triangles eyes and nose with mouth or let your imagination run wild! :)
Now paint top of sock (remaining white of sock) green- this is your pumpkins stem. Allow to dry and trim to desired stem length.
Now take black paper face pieces and glue them onto the sock to create your sock jack-o-lantern!
Enjoy your new Halloween decoration! :)

My kids loved making these and hope others will as well! Tracy
