Pop Goes the Pumpkin

Ingredients

4-by-5½-foot piece of foam board
2 yards of burlap or other fabric
Duct tape
Removable hooks (such as Command hooks)
Thirty-five 12-inch orange balloons
Confetti
Candy (small, thin types work best)
Pump, for balloons (optional), joann.com
T pins
Green paper
Ribbon
Pushpins (or darts for bigger kids)

Instructions

Cover foam board with burlap; secure in back with duct tape. Adhere it to wall with hooks.
Fill balloons with confetti (using a funnel) and candy. Leave a few treat-free to add to the suspense.
Inflate the balloons (a pump makes it faster); tie off with a knot. Attach balloons to board with T pins, in a pumpkin shape.
Cut a stem shape (download the template at Martha Stewart – link provided at bottom of this post) from green paper, and secure with T pins.
Cut ribbon; tie onto pushpin handles to make them easier to hold on to (and find, if dropped).
NOTE: Best for kids 6 and older. Pins make it easier for little kids to pop balloons, but darts will work well for slightly older players.
