Really easy Toddler or Preschool craft for Halloween
Halloween Easy Toddler Pumpkin Craft
For each pumpkin you’ll need:
- 1 x A4 paper
- 2 x paper fasteners
- 1 x green pipe cleaner
- Pencil - to curl your pipe cleaner and pierce the paper strips
- Orange crayon - to colour the paper (OR use paint/pencil/texta)
- 2 x googly eyes (or you can draw them on)
- Black paper - for the mouth and nose
- Fishing line or string - to hang
How to make
- Cut the paper into 8 even strips. I did this by folding the paper in half and cutting along the fold, repeating this until I had the 8 strips.
- Using the tip of the pencil I pierced a small hole at each end of every strip of paper.
- Give these strips to your child to colour in orange.
- Show them how to poke the paper fastener through the holes, point out that the coloured side needs to be facing down. Open the fastener to secure.
- The next bit is a little fiddly so you may need to help out. Bend the strips around and poke them individually through the second paper fastener. Open the fastener to secure.
- Using the pencil curl the green pipe cleaner. Twist it once under the top paper fastener.
- Tie the fishing line/string where you tied the pipe cleaner.
- Sticky tape or glue your googly eyes, nose and mouth on.
- Your paper pumpkin is ready to hang anywhere you like.
*Make a few and use A3 paper to make a little paper pumpkin family!
