Directions
- Cut the orange and green tissue paper into squares, big enough to cover the top of the cup and hang down the sides. I set the cup upside down on the paper to figure out the proper size. (28 orange pieces and 2 green pieces)
- Put a candy or prizes into each cup. Then cover with a square of tissue paper and secure the paper with a rubber band. Repeat until all of the cups are covered.
- Arrange the pumpkin to determine your layout and ensure that it will fit on the poster board.
- Use a hot glue gun to attach the cups to the board. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly.
- Create a moon from the yellow paper, bats from the black paper, and grass from the green paper. Glue them to the poster board.
- When it is time to play, have each child poke their finger through the paper into the cup of their choosing. Enjoy!
