* This week’s fun activity is great for Halloween parties, craft day or for a learning center.
* Follow the easy instructions and create a Halloween or Autumn lantern.
Step by Step Instructions:
1. Leaving a one-inch margin on all sides, cut straight lines from the fold to the opposite side. The lines should be about a half-inch apart.
2. Open the paper. Make a tall cylinder out of the paper so that the cuts are vertical.
3. Take a strip of orange or black construction paper. Attach both ends to the top to make a handle. Add eyes, nose and mouth.
4. Staple or glue the cylinder together. Make colorful construction paper strips to hang from the bottom of the lantern for additional decoration.
