Our Curious George Literacy Pumpkin

It'a that time year again... FALL! Hayrides, corn mazes. Halloween... and literacy pumpkins. This year we chose to decorate our literacy pumpkin as Curious George. We used the book, "Follow That Hat!", as our inspiration, as well as my little stuffed Curious George. I borrowed the hat from my stuffed George to put over the pumpkin stem, and set the painted pumpkin on top of a glass container. I also lined the inside of the glass container with a piece of red paper that read, Curious George, in yellow letters (it was supposed to look like his shirt).

I think that it turned out really cute. My class loved it and they were so proud to have it on display in our school library. I must say, this is probably my most favorite pumpkin I have made with my classes so far... I mean, who doesn't love Curious George?
