Fall is here and so are the pumpkins. This is the perfect time to get experimental with your seasonal craftworks and get in the mood for the cozy season. Kids love this season for various reasons, one of which is the numerous pumpkin crafts they can try their hands on. It is the perfect time of the year to spend time with your little ones, helping them enhance their crafting skills. However, instead of working on the same old craftworks, why not try something new and fun? This fall, make these pumpkin crafts with your kids for a joyful time.
Pumpkin Sun Catcher
If your kiddos love sun catchers, you must make these pumpkin-themed ones to make their day. They are adorable to look at and pretty easy to make. All you need is some glue and construction paper in different shades of yellow and orange to make a pumpkin sun catcher.
3-D Paper Pumpkins
Up your DIY game with these fascinating 3-D paper pumpkins. These are great for fall decorations, especially since they are three-dimensional. The card-stock pumpkins take around 15-20 minutes to make and you can have them in as many colors as your kids want.
Yarn Pumpkins
Balloons, orange yarn, white glue, and pipe cleaners are all you need to make this pumpkin-themed craftwork with your kids. It might get a bit messy because of dipping yarn in the glue and then wrapping it around the inflated balloon. However, popping the balloon and seeing their creation come to life will make it all worth it in the end.
Puffy Paint Pumpkins
This pumpkin craft is great for your preschool kid. You need only four main materials — foam shaving cream, food color, glue, and cardstock paper — for this DIY. Your little one can make puffy-painted pumpkins in their favorite colors for their sensory activity.
Lollipop Pumpkin
If your children love colorful lollipops, they will love to cover their sweet treats in tissue paper and pipe cleaners to decorate their lollipops. They will not only make for great fall treats but also are excellent goodies for trick-or-treaters. So, don’t forget to try this pumpkin-themed craft with your kids next fall.
Paper Pumpkin People
Give that paper plate pumpkin some hands and feet, and their new playtime pal is ready. You can even print online pumpkin templates to speed up the process. So, give your kids some paint (in their favorite shade) along with a brush, and let them make pumpkin people with different facial expressions.
Pumpkin Painted Rocks
Kids love painting rocks for some odd reason. So, let them indulge in what they enjoy and turn it into a fun craft by asking your little goblins to search for different shapes of rocks to paint on. This could be a scavenger hunt plus a DIY game day for your kids.
Pumpkin Mummies
Turn the pumpkins into spooky yet funky decor by covering them with gauze and pasting some googly eyes on them. Your kiddos can create a whole family of mummies with different-sized pumpkins. To add more fun to the pumpkin craft, you can ask your kids to dye the gauze for a unique touch. Of course, they should go with colors of their choice and decorate their rooms with the same.
No-Sew Pumpkin Bracelets
There is nothing better than a pumpkin craft that your kids can sport throughout fall. The best thing about this DIY is that it uses velcro ties, making it a one-size-fits-all wrist strap suitable for all age groups. Toddlers, tweens, and teens can decorate their bracelets in any way they want, keeping them cool for their age so their friends can’t have enough of their new accessory.
Beaded Pipe Cleaner Pumpkin
Pipe cleaner and orange beads are all you need to make this pumpkin craft. It could be a bit time-consuming (depending on the size) but the end product will be some adorable fall harvest that your kids will love to flaunt.
