I pulled out my Halloween box of decorations and stuffed between my pumpkins and plastic bats I found an old craft project I did when I was a young kid.

I had been taught how to sew on a meat styrofoam tray.

And my kids wanted to learn how to sew too.

So we washed some meat trays left over from dinner and got to work learning how to sew pumpkins.

5. Tape the end of the yarn to the back of the tray and use the needle to go through the first hole.

6. Remind your young sewers to pull the yarn all the way through before putting the needle in the next hole.

7. Follow around the picture of the pumpkin to finish the sewing project.

8. As you get near the end of the sewing project, make sure the needle finishes on the back side of the meat tray. You may need to add an extra hole to make sure that happens.
