Our ward recently did this activity and had a great turn out! Try these with your kids or for your own Family Home Evening!
Ghoolish Gourds
Instructions:
-Use a hole punch to make a pair of pupils from the craft foam, then adhere them to the white eyes with glue dots. - Attach all the pieces with glue dots, as pictured. To make the ears stick out (for the Count), tape a toothpick to the back, leaving about 1K inches of the toothpick exposed, then insert it in place. ~I bought some Googlie eyes for a buck..super cute! We also just used foam for all the noses and ears.
- Finishing touches for Witch: Cut a small mouth from the craft foam. To make a hat, cut the shapes shown at left from a piece of black craft foam. 
Roll the half-circle into a cone with a base slightly larger than the center of the ring, and secure the edge with glue dots. Tuck the cone's base into the center of the ring. For the buckle, double-fold a sheet of foil to create a square shape. Snip out the center, then adhere it to the hat with glue dots.
- Finishing touches for the Mummy: Wrap the pumpkin in gauze, using glue dots to attach the fabric as you go.
- Finishing touches for the Count: Cut a collar and hair from the craft foam, following the diagram at bottom. Wrap each around the pumpkin and attach them with glue dots, as shown.
CRAFT MATERIALS:
Black acrylic paint
Ornamental (miniature) pumpkins
Black and white craft foam
Hole punch
Glue dots
Black duct tape
Toothpicks
Wooden skewers
Time needed: About 1 to 2 Hours
1. Cover your work surface with a drop cloth or newspaper, then paint the pumpkins. Allow them to dry completely. 2. For each bat, snip two identical eyes from the white craft foam and use the hole punch to make pupils. Adhere the eyes to the pumpkin with glue dots. 3. Cut matching pairs of ears and wings from the black craft foam (our wings are about 6 inches long). Attach the ears by taping a toothpick to the back of each one, leaving about 1K inches of the toothpick exposed, then inserting it into the top of the pumpkin. 4. Finally, tape a skewer to the back of each wing, leaving a 2-inch point exposed, and push it in place.
Sorry I don't have a sutout for the wings/ears!
