Our supplies were an empty tissue box (yay, recycling!), a glue stick, some orange foam sheets (you could also use orange construction paper, or you could also have your child paint the box orange) and some green construction paper.
I gave Pierce a choice between drawing the pumpkin face himself or letting me draw it. He asked me to draw it, because he wanted the pumpkin to look just like Spookley. Once the face was drawn, Pierce glued the foam sheets and stuck them to the Kleenex box. On the top piece, we had two orange pieces, so we could tuck a piece of the green stem underneath for added security. Then we curled the green stem around like Spookley's.

Crafty! Looks like Pierce had fun making that.
That is adorable. What a great craft idea. You two should be proud. :)
I have never heard of this book before. It looks really cute! Pierce's pumpkin is awesome.
What a fun and simple project! It turned out great and Pierce looks so happy with it! Definitely worth the effort to see the look on his face! So cute!
That is a great project! You can tell by that big smile!
Very crafty! You two did a great job making Spookley!
What a fun craft!!
How great that you do crafts with the kids. This is something they will remember always.
To this day, my Daughter and I still do crafts together when we get the chance and sometimes my Grandkids join in.
Great idea Lisa. I am not familiar with Spookley, but with the young twins, this would be right up their alley.
that boy has such a joyous smile. :)
Great craft idea - hope you are sharing these with his teacher for ideas.

I most like the proud look on his face!
What a cute idea! I love his big smile. It's so fun being able to recycle things around the house. :)
This is so cute!! You always come up with the coolest projects!!
I love that...so cute! And I love that you found a way to make a craft from the story.
Garrett's teacher just read this book to them and he was talking about it to me the other day. It's wonderful when they read a story like this and really get the message that the book is sending.
Cute! Nice work there buddy:)))
I have never heard of this book, but I'm grabbing my iPad to get a sample now! Spookly is too cute! I'm always looking for crafts for the girls. He is just their age now, give him a big birthday hug and kiss for me!!!
Awwww,that's just the cutest!
Cute. You and your craft ideas just amaze me.

This will be fun to do with the grandkids when I see them next!
Pierce looks as smiley as Spookley!
Thought id say hello Lisa, and will your little guys be doing any trick or treating?. I remember the good old days when it was safe to do so, sadly those days are pretty much gone. Richard
I'll have to check out that book. I love doing crafts with tissue/cereal boxes and toilet paper rolls - which can add up!
That is such a cute book and nice to see your little guy crafting.
He's such a cutie! I love his smile. :) (and no, I didn't know about Spookley until after reading your post. I learn so much from you youngsters!)
ooohhhh that smile is priceless!! what a cutie pie!!
How fun!
Now that is a very neat craft! You are great at thinking outside the box! hehehe
We just got this book last week. I didn't ever think about making a craft out of it. Brilliant! Hmmm guess that is what we will be doing tomorrow :) Thanks!
My kids liked this book. The puppet turned out great.
We love that book too! Your creativity always amazes me :)
