Start by setting the paper clip on your paper plate and adding a small amount of red and yellow paint. Your students may ask why you\u2019re not using orange \u2013 assure them that the pumpkin will, in fact, be orange. {This is a great time to discuss the color wheel and\/or color mixing.} Next, take the magnet to the bottom of the paper plate and \u201cmake contact\u201d with the paper clip. Then start mixing! By moving the paper clip around and around using the magnet under the plate, the colors will mix, and your pumpkin plate will become a wonderful orange color. Add in more color as needed. The final step is to take black or yellow construction paper and cut out face pieces for your pumpkin making it a jack-o-lantern and adding a stem and leaf!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
