Total Time:30

BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Plan the placement of your cups before gluing them to the board. Arrange them in a pumpkin shape and make sure you have enough space between each cup for kids to easily poke through the tissue paper.
ARRANGE THE CUPS: Lay the plastic cups on the cardboard or foam board and arrange them into a pumpkin shape.
GLUE THE CUPS: Use hot glue to attach each plastic cup securely to the board. Let the glue cool completely before adding the prizes.
ADD THE PRIZES: Place a small prize, piece of candy or treat inside each cup.
CUT THE TISSUE PAPER: Cut orange tissue paper into squares large enough to completely cover the opening of each cup.
COVER THE CUPS: Place a tissue paper square over each cup and secure it with a rubber band. Make sure the tissue paper is tight enough to stay in place but easy for kids to poke through.
ADD THE PUMPKIN DETAILS: Cut a stem and optional leaves from green paper and attach them to the board to complete the pumpkin design.
PLAY THE GAME: Let each child choose a cup and poke through the tissue paper to reveal the surprise inside.

Arrange all of the cups before gluing so you can adjust the overall pumpkin shape.
Use inexpensive and light-weight prizes, candy, stickers or small toys inside the cups.
Use different prizes in the cups to make each turn a surprise.
Reuse the board by replacing the tissue paper and refilling the cups for another party or event.
