Here in Alabama, it has been so sweet watching the leaves changing color all around where I live. Though I know it is stereotypical, I have to admit that I really do enjoy all the pumpkins around us. I love the pumpkin flavors and decorations! Earlier in this season, I published a post with “fall bucket list ideas for families” (link HERE) along with another one with “apple-themed activities for kids” (link HERE). With that said, I thought it would be fun to pull together a compilation of pumpkin crafts for children.
Therefore, without further adieu, here are 10 different pumpkin-themed craft ideas:)
1. Handprint Pumpkin Craft – by Frugal Fun 4 Boys (link HERE)
As I have said before, I have a soft spot in my heart for handprint crafts. They are so sweet and sentimental! This one is no different. It can be made as a card or not, depending on how you would like to keep it. It’s so cute!
2. Paper Strip Pumpkin – by First Palette (link HERE)
Though this little craft is simple, I thought it may be good for teaching children the more fine motor skills like cutting and assembling. This craft may not be one that you would keep, but it still might be fun:)
3. Toilet Paper Pumpkin Craft – by The Frugal Girls (link HERE)
Aren’t these cute? It’s hard to believe that underneath that pretty fabric is is a roll of toilet paper, but it is. Though other ages may enjoy it as well, this craft may be more fun with kids from ages 5-9.
4. Pumpkin Sun Catcher Craft – by Fantastic Fun Learning (link HERE)
Here’s a fun craft 🙂 Not only will it help with fine motor skills, but it also doesn’t require any expensive supplies. In fact, you may already have most of the supplies in your craft room.
5. 3D Paper Pumpkins – by Frugal Fun 4 Boys (link HERE)
I think these 3D pumpkins would be adorable décor in a school room! You could put them on bookshelves or desks or even on windowsills 🙂 Since you get to choose the paper, you could also be creative with different neutral colors, as well.
6. Pumpkin Spice Play Dough Recipe – by The Many Little Joys (link HERE)
This little craft has the potential for many hours of entertainment:) Not only is it easy to make, but it could also be a fun activity for many different ages since you could even enable older children to make it themselves thereby allowing them to practice measuring and following a recipe.
Additionally, you could also find different play dough mats to go along with the pumpkin theme. Here’s a super cute option from Fantastic Fun and Learning that only requires an email subscription (link HERE):
7. Felt Pumpkin Garland – by Vicky Barone (link HERE)
Here’s a no-sew garland that I think would also be adorable in a school room. It would also be a super fun craft to do as a family 🙂 Again, you could also be creative with the colors of the garland, and expensive materials are not required.
8. Yarn Pumpkins – by The Navage Patch (link HERE)
This craft would definitely be better for some older children or teens, and it does require some more expensive materials since you need to buy the plastic pumpkins for a base along with different kinds of yarn, but I still think they are so cute and would be wonderful for fall home décor.
9. Craft Paper Pumpkin Patch – by The Printable Princess (link HERE)
Here’s another inexpensive craft that you likely already have all the materials for. Though it’s simple, I still thought this craft was a fun idea:)
10. 3D Pumpkin Card – by One Little Project (link HERE)
How cute is this little craft! I thought this one was so fun and adorable. If you do any fall baking to pass out to neighbors or friends, I think it’d be so cute to include one of these homemade cards to go along with it:)
