If you're looking for a fun and easy Halloween craft for kids, these adorable toilet roll pumpkins are just the thing! Made using cardboard tubes, coloured paper and a little imagination, they're a brilliant way to turn everyday household recycling into some wonderfully spooky Halloween decorations.

I love how each little pumpkin has its own personality, from cheeky grins to spooky faces! They're so simple to make, and children will have great fun designing their own silly or scary expressions. It's also a lovely activity for practising scissor skills, fine motor skills and creativity.

Best of all, these cute little cardboard tube pumpkins are incredibly budget-friendly and look fantastic displayed on a windowsill, shelf or as part of your homemade Halloween decorations. A perfect little project for a cosy autumn afternoon!

Here's what we used

• Toilet roll
• Orange paint and paintbrush
• Black, brown and green paper
• Scissors
• Glue

How to make our toilet roll pumpkin family craft

Take your toilet rolls and cut them into a variety of lengths. Paint each toilet roll using your orange paint and then put them aside to dry.

Now its time for the fun part! Use your black paper to cut out and stick on a face for each of your pumpkins.

Cut out a brown stalk and then take a thin piece of green paper and curl it around either itself or a pencil to make a tendril. Glue your tendril onto your stalk and then glue the stalk on the inside of your toilet roll. Your super cute toilet roll pumpkin family craft is finished. Don't they look spooktacular?
