Jack O’Lantern Wooden Blocks

This Halloween, turn ordinary wooden blocks into fun toys that double as a Halloween decoration! All you will need is some paint and markers to make this project. Both kids and adults will have fun making these.

Try making creating all sorts of different facial expressions to give your jack O’Lanterns character.

Kids will have fun playing with these and positioning them so it looks as if they are looking at each other.

Be sure to sand the wood blocks if needed and dust off.

Paint the blocks with orange paint and let dry.

Use a Sharpie to draw the faces on and color them in.

Dip the handle end of the paintbrush into green paint and dot on top of each block for a stem.

Use a white paint pen to dot on eyes. Alternatively you can dip a toothpick into white paint and dot onto the eyes.
