Bear Tavern Storybook Pumpkins
Join our Pumkin Patch
Pumpkins here, Pumpkins there, Pumpkins Everywhere!
Bear Tavern is growing a storybook pumpkin patch, and we need your help! Decorate a pumpkin to look like one of your favorite book characters, and bring it to Bear Tavern to plant in our Storybook Pumpkin Patch!
· Think of a favorite book and design your pumpkin based on your favorite character.
· Purchase a pumpkin (real or fake) that is no larger in size than a basketball.
· Gather your decorating supplies. Acrylic paints or permanent markers work best. Watercolors run, and spray paint will gradually dissolve the pumpkin. Other options include adding materials such as yarn,buttons, wiggly eyes, etc.
· Decorate your pumpkin without carving, cutting, or poking holes in it. Carved pumpkins will not be accepted.
Pumpkin Patch opens October 16
Students may bring in their decorated pumpkin starting Monday, October 16.
All pumpkins will be on display until Tuesday, October 31. On Tuesday, all pumpkins must be taken home.
Any pumpkin remaining will be discarded.
