Pumpkin activities and crafts are a great way to herald fall and Halloween! Fall crafting sessions are a wonderful time to talk to children about the changing seasons, what happens to the leaves and trees, harvest time, and even Halloween! Some of the most educational conversations I have ever had with my children have been while crafting. Busy hands = free and open minds.
It’s so cozy to make cups of hot apple cider, and create our own fall decorations, with a fun family Halloween movie on in the background! My kids also love it when I read them books about pumpkins when they are fall crafting. One of their favorites is, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
In this wide assortment of pumpkin crafts, we also included several pumpkin activities that don’t even require a real pumpkin, in case you’re looking for something different! So get into a festive fall spirit with you kiddos, and let’s make some easy pumpkin crafts that your kids will proud of!
