How to Do the Quest
- 1
Draw or trace four simple pumpkin circles on paper, leaving a little space between each design.
- 2
Give each pumpkin one eye shape, one mouth shape, and one extra detail such as dots, stripes, or a leaf hat.
- 3
Sort the faces into a pattern by changing only one feature at a time, such as round eyes to triangle eyes or small smiles to big smiles.
- 4
Name the mood of each face and make a tiny story about where that pumpkin might be going on an autumn afternoon.
- 5
Choose one favorite pattern, color it carefully, and display it as a paper-only seasonal decoration.
Quest Challenge
Can the artist make a four-picture pattern where another person can correctly predict the fifth face?
Pro Tip
Keeping the activity on paper makes it playful and tool-free while still giving kids a seasonal creative project.
