Every year I introduce oil pastels to the kindergarten students with this pumpkin project. The students want to draw the lines in the pumpkin with straight lines. I demonstrate on the board how we will draw the pumpkin using curved lines. I also demonstrate how we will use a paper towel to blend the colors once they have colored it in with the pastels.
Here are a few of the pumpkins.
This student did a great job blending the pastels.
See the curved lines in the pumpkin.

This is a great lesson for kindergarten students.
