Glue the eye and the mouth pieces onto the pumpkin with tacky glue. Do NOT glue a nose on. Instead, trace one of the nose shapes onto the pumpkin so the kids have a "target" to aim for when placing their noses on.

To play the game, hang the pumpkin on a wall using mavalus tape. Give each child a colored pumpkin nose piece (one different color for each child) with a glue dot on the back. Have the kids line up, then blindfold the first child. Turn them in a circle slowly three times, then have them walk towards the pumpkin and press their nose where they think it belongs. Repeat for each child. The child who places their nose the closest to the nose outline on the pumpkin wins a prize!
