➡️ I started by poking small holes with a screw driver into the pumpkins for my son to then hammer golf tees into the holes. He then used hair ties (or rubber bands) to stretch shapes between the tees. I was shocked by how much he loved this one! Good thing we have a second pumpkin to do it again tomorrow 😂 

Great for ages 2+!
