It\u2019s October, which means it\u2019s time for Halloween craft ideas. This year we\u2019re focusing on pumpkin crafts because what\u2019s Halloween without a big grinning jack-o-lantern?<\/span><\/p>\n

Playdough Pumpkins<\/b><\/h2>\n

Pumpkin carving is the basis for many Halloween craft ideas, but small children lack the hand-to-eye coordination to safely handle a knife. Rather than risk a trip to the emergency room, introduce little ones to the first of our three pumpkin crafts\u2014playdough jack-o-lanterns.<\/span><\/p>\n

All you need for this craft are some medium-sized pumpkins (small enough for kids to handle easily, but big enough to be impressive) and a selection of playdough. Show the kids how to make playdough eyes, ears, mouths, and noses, and let them press their creations onto the pumpkin surface. This is one of the easiest Halloween craft ideas we\u2019ve ever seen, with minimal cleanup and a quick, fun payoff for the kids.<\/span><\/p>\n
