Don’t you just love pumpkins? Here are some quick, easy, and frugal pumpkin craft projects for the kids (and grown up too!) Enjoy!!
This pumpkin craft uses rolled up strips of construction paper. Find out how at Kaboose!
This adorable pumpkin uses toilet paper for stuffing! See the complete instructions at Craft Elf.
Grab some orange yarn and whip up a bunch of these mini pumpkins from Make and Takes!
I think these paper pumpkins would make fantastic decorations — especially hanging from the ceiling! See A-Z Learning Bug for complete instructions.
Have fun!!
Do you have a pumpkin craft you would like to share with us? Feel free to link up in the comments — we would LOVE to see it!!

We made jack-o-lanterns using frozen orange pumpkin ice cubes. It was pretty fun!
I really want to make the yarn pumpkins from make and takes.

I like the paper pumpkin that can hang from the ceiling.
I’ll pass this to my daughters and see if anything shows up around the house.

Thank you! The kids love doing it…I think it will be fun to see how they design them differently each year.
