A Christian Pumpkin

I came across this on Pinterest while searching for pumpkin crafts for the boys without it being "Halloween related" since that is something we have chosen to not participate in. I fell in love with this so we did it this morning and hung them up :)

A pumpkin the kids color then on the back is a poem. They then use the symbols to make it a jack o latern which can represent us, we scrap all the "yuckies out and place God's light in our center!"


Here is the poem:

I am a Jack O lantern
My lights will shine so bright
For I'm a Christian Pumpkin
My ssymbols tell what's right

My nose is like a cross
On which our Savior died
To set us free from sin
We need no longer hide

My mouth is like a fish
The whole wide world to show
That Christians live in this house
And love their Savior so

The story starts at Christmas
My eyes are like the star
That shone on Baby Jesus
And wise men saw from far   

My color, it is orange
Just like the big bright sun
That rose on Easter Day
Along with God's own son

And so on Halloween
Let's set our pumpkins out
And tell the trick or treaters
What God's love is all about.  

Its a free printable with the symbols you can cut out and paste on the pumpkin!
