Make easy jack-o-lanterns for a dollhouse display.

Left, the pumpkin shows a toothy grin I have drawn directly onto the surface using a pencil.
 Right, the finished jack-o-lantern grouped with other Halloween decorations.

         This charming little toothy Jack-O-Lantern is so easy to make. All you need to craft him is a Styrofoam pumpkin small enough for a doll's house and a black permanent marker. These decorative pumpkins are everywhere in local stores, dollar stores and hobby shops during the fall season where we live. You may purchase them at a discount right after the holidays and store them for the following year to craft with if you can wait that long!
       Take a pencil and gently draw the face of a Halloween jack-o-lantern directly on top of the foam pumpkin. You may use a pink eraser to gently remove mistakes if you make them at this point. After you have a face you are happy with, trace on top of the pencil lines with a Sharpie or any black permanent marker. Fill in the facial features with ink where ever these would be if you where actually carving a pumpkin.
       Now you are ready to make as many of these as you like. Set one in every doll room or group them together on the front stoop of your AG dollhouse!

Jack-o'-Lantern

I have a Jack-o'-Lantern,
I found him in a field.
He was the biggest pumpkin,
And he to me appealed.
The others now have vanished,
They're luscious pumpkin pies,
That's why my Jack-o'-Lantern
Can make such awful eyes!
Spook, spook, spook, spook,
Spook, spook, spook, spook!
SPOOK!
