My three kids love crafts, so what better way to celebrate this pumpkin season with some fun pumpkin crafts. I bought some mini pumpkins and provided them with some craft material and here’s what we came up with.

Materials: Pipe cleaners, school glue, googly eyes, scraps of paper, strings, foam stickers or whatever leftover craft material you have at home will work.

I squeezed out some glue on a piece of scrap paper and using strips of scrap papers, they applied glue as they needed. Buddy cut out mouths and noses out of the green construction paper for everyone. But Mei decided to just glue googly eyes all over her pumpkin. Buddy added some arms to his pumpkin with pipe cleaners. The boys wanted some hair for their pumpkins, so I untwined some gardening strings and hot glued some hair for the boys. If you have never worked with a hot glue gun, it gets pretty hot, so please be careful when working with young children.

Here’s a little girl pumpkin that I made with googly eyes, black permanent marker for nose and mouth and gardening twine for braid.

Do you have a favorite craft for the fall season to share. Please post in the comment section.
