For this pumpkin wreath, we started by cutting the center of the paper plate. Depending on the age of your child, an adult may have to cut the paper plate.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a paper plate, you can cut a circle from cardboard (cereal boxes work great).
Then, we painted the paper plate brown. You can paint the paper plate any color you like. This step is optional, you don’t need to paint the paper plate.
