9. Watercolor Coffee Filter Pumpkins

9

Create beautiful, translucent window decorations that catch the autumn sunlight using standard white coffee filters. Flatten out a round coffee filter and have your child color it entirely with orange, yellow, and red washable markers. Next, use a spray bottle filled with water to lightly mist the colored filter. Watch in amazement as the colors bleed and blend together, creating a gorgeous tie-dye effect. Once the filter is completely dry, cut it into a pumpkin shape. Cut out a stem from brown construction paper and leaves from green paper, gluing them to the top. Tape these vibrant, glowing pumpkins to your windows for a stunning stained-glass effect that brightens up any room during the day.
