History of Berry Patch Farms

What could be more appetizing than a punch bowl will floating hands? You can even add gummy worms for a little extra zing!

Recipe:
Soak some rubber gloves in warm soapy water, rinse, then turn inside out. Fill with your favorite fruit juice (mix up different flavor for different colored hands). Tie gloves at the end with rubber bands and put in the freezer over night.
Fill a punch bowl with your favorite fruit juice, then add frozen hands! Yummy!

You will need two pumpkins for this one! Select a round pumpkin for the bottom and a long pumpkin for the top.
Cut the top off each pumpkin and scoop out the insides. Carve the goofy faces on each pumpkin so that it appears they are looking at each other. Fit the long pumpkin into the top of the round pumpkin on the bottom.
With help from an adult, place a candle in each pumpkin and light. What a pair of goofy pumpkins!

Spider Web Pumpkin! Use a fabric pen to draw a spider web, then glue a small and large rhinestone on your pumpkin and add spider legs with your fabric pen.

Make a Star Pumpkin! Cut the top around the pumpkin and clean out the inside. Use different shaped star cookie cutters and press the cookie cutter into the pumpkin where you want the stars cut out. Outline the stars with a fabric pen or metallic gold marker. You can also use glue and glitter.
Poke a toothpick into one of the large stars removed from the pumpkin and stick the other end of the toothpick into the stem of the pumpkin.
