Today in our creativity corner we made fall pumpkins. Two pieces of paper, staples and a piece of ribbon. Voila!!! Crafty pumpkins. We displayed each resident’s craft on their door. They were so proud of their creation.
In the spirit of Halloween, let's play a game of trivia!
Q: What was candy corn originally called?
