Pumpkin shakers

* Cut out a section (top and bottom) of an egg carton and fill one side with dried beans.

* Glue the sides together, with an ice-pop stick coming out of the middle.

* Paint with orange paint, let dry, and push a green pipe cleaner into the top as a stem; slip on a green construction-paper "leaf" and bend pipe cleaner over in a loop.
