Playfelt, that is a good idea to do things like that. I did the same idea with a christmas felt tree and ornaments and the kids enjoyed it last year. Never thought to do it with a pumpkin...duh!! lol

It all depends on your group but I have found most kids enjoy doing art (there is a difference between art and crafts) and enjoy using the different materials.

I can honestly say that my kids enjoy art and do most (if not all) the work themselves! The older kids like crafts but I don't do crafts that often.
