Materials
To carry out this activity, you will need:
- a printable pumpkin template (click here)
- orange balloons
- glass marbles
- green caterpillars
- a pair of scissors
- adhesive dots
- small elastics
Optional: a balloon pump
Step 1
Insert a glass marble into an orange balloon.
Note: The weighting system with the marble will enable the balloon to stand up as if by magic.
Step 2
Place the marble at the bottom of the balloon, holding it tightly with an elastic band (wrap it multiple times).
Step 3
Flip the balloon to place the marble and the elastic inside.
Step 4
Inflate the balloon (up to 20 cm) and then tie a knot.
Practical, the balloon will stay in place thanks to the weight of the marble!
Tip: Children can use a pump to inflate the balloons easily!
Step 6
Stick the cut-out elements onto the pumpkin using adhesive dots.
Step 7
Wrap a green caterpillar around a pencil to form the pumpkin's tail.

Attach the green chenille to the end of the balloon.
Be careful not to pop the balloon with the metallic end of the chenille!
Step 9
