How to make our paper plate pumpkin craft
First take your orange tissue paper and cut it into several small square pieces. Cover the paper plate in glue and then use the orange squares to cover the plate and give it it’s pumpkin colour.
Next it’s time to create your paper plate pumpkin’s design. Cut out the shapes of the facial features and glue them on to the front of the plate.
Finish off by cutting out a stalk and some greenery and gluing in down on the back to complete your paper plate pumpkin craft. Aren’t these just adorable?

Its never too early for a Halloween craft. It’s always so much fun every year crafting decorations and making costumes (or buying them from the supermarket when we leave it too Late!). We don’t know what Halloween will be like with the current covid situation but we do know it probably won’t be the same this year. However that doesn’t mean we can’t eat some treats and dress the house from head to toe with cute handmade Halloween décor. This year we’re preparing early with this awesome toilet roll pumpkin family craft!
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 down in to various 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 toothpick 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?
