This pumpkin craft is great for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarten kids. Older children can also enjoy this fall craft. You just need a few art supplies which means this is a budget-friendly craft.

You will need our pumpkin printables. I will link them below. I printed them at 75%. We only used one. I let my kids color the second coloring page so it didn’t go to waste. So without further ado, let’s make this pumpkin craft!

Our Experience With This Pumpkin Craft

We love fall. Fall is the best season. It’s when the heat of summer finally dies. And this year… we desperately needed the heat to fade. So, now it’s time for pumpkin!

While I’m not a fan of pumpkin spice, I love pumpkins and all things fall. And so do my kids. Jumping in leaf piles, cocoa, pumpkins, cider, fun movies. It’s great.

So we busted out the finger painting and made our own pumpkins. It was messy, fun, and it involves glitter. We love glitter here!
