9 Creepy Crafts

Pumpkin carving is fun, but is not recommended for young children. That doesn’t mean your child has to miss out on creating his very own Jack-o-lantern! Here’s a silly activity that’s a less dangerous version of pumpkin carving: using a small pumpkin and some fun materials, kids can bring their pumpkins to life. Toothpicks can act as arms, glued-on buttons as eyes, cotton balls for some wacky hair, and even clothes can be made out of felt. Encourage your kids to write some spooky Halloween stories about their pumpkin characters. Or, they might even want to act them out using their pumpkins on stage.

What You Need:

  • A small pumpkin
  • Toothpicks
  • Cotton balls
  • Felt
  • Buttons
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Glue
