Pumpkin Crafts for Kids

Pumpkins are a great fall craft because you can put them out at Halloween, and leave them through Thanksgiving. As a busy mom, I tend to search for sustainability in my craft projects. It's much easier for me to decorate once per season since I have little hands constantly helping.

Posted on Today I pulled out my Fall decorations, and I found the cutest project created by Lu and Boo. They made this adorable rolled paper pumpkin craft at a friend's house last year. It's so easy that I knew I had to share it with all of you.

With a couple of pipe cleaners, you can quickly create your own patch of colorful chenille pumpkins. This is a great way to decorate your home or just enjoy some craft time with kids, all for just a few bucks.

Designer Vicki Shields from the creative Three Wheels Turning blog sent over a fun Halloween craft project idea to share with you guys today, and I'm so glad that she did, because while visiting her blog I also discovered her ridiculously cute stationery shop! So you get a double dose of eye candy from Vicki today...

I first made these pom pom pumpkins last year when I did the flowers, but by the time I posted the pom pom flower tutorial I felt that it was probably too late in the season for the pumpkins, so here they are this year!

This beaded pumpkin craft is an easy fall craft for the kids, and it'll look super cute next to some leaves and other autumn decor. This month, I've been focusing on some different crafts with the kiddo. We've been having a lot of fun with beads, and I think we'll do more of these in the future.
