Pumpkin Patch Halloween Kid's Crafts
This Halloween kid's craft is one of our Halloween Kid's Crafts for children of all ages, from preschool and up.
The deliciously scented pumpkins can be made with any homemade play dough. We've provided a long time favorite recipe. It does involve cooking, so you or an older child accustomed to cooking should make the play dough.

Homemade Play Dough Recipe For Your Halloween Kids Crafts
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup salt
- 4 tsp cream of tartar
- Pumpkin pie spice (2 tsp)
- 1/4 cup oil
- Orange food coloring
Directions:
- Pour water into a medium saucepan.
- Add food coloring, and stir.
- Then add the rest of the ingredients.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring continually.
- Eventually the mixture will pull away from the sides of the pan and stick together into a large glob of play dough.
- Remove from heat.
- Allow to cool to a comfortable temperature for handling.
- Any left over play dough can be stored in a zip top bag and does not require refrigeration.
Prepare Tray:
While the play dough is cooling, cover a cookie sheet, plate or tray with an autumn colored gift-wrapping foil. Or, to resemble the soil of a real pumpkin patch you cover with crushed graham cracker crumbs. To crush the graham cracker crumbs, place a few graham crackers in a freezer bag and roll over the bag with a rolling pin until you have the texture you want.
Create the Pumpkins
To make the pumpkins, the children will need:
- Orange play dough
- Various candies (for facial features and stems)
- Scissors (safety, round tipped scissors for younger ones)
- Modeling tools (or improvised ones such as toothpicks, popsicles sticks, etc.) for older children who want to model the pumpkins' ridges and such.
- Candy, such as black string licorice, candy corn and M&M's.
Directions:
- Form pumpkins with the play dough. Younger children may find it easier to decorate larger pumpkins (about the size of small tangerine) while older children can more easily make miniatures. Let the kids experiment and be prepared to make an extra batch of play dough!
- Add the facial features.
Here are a few ideas for your Halloween kids crafts pumpkin patch:
String licorice can be cut into pieces and used to shape facial features. If pressed gently, it will stick to the play dough. Depending on fine motor skills, the slender pieces of rope licorice may be difficult for younger children, so be prepared to offer alternatives or help.
Candy corn makes cute, ready made noses.
A wide eyed pumpkin could have M&M's for eyes, while a scary faced one might have candy corn with the points of the triangular pointing outwards.
Fruit strips can be cut into various shapes.
- Add green or brown stems. These could be made from pipe cleaners, fruit leather, etc.
- Arrange pumpkins on the tray.
There you have it – a pumpkin patch with personality and a delicious pumpkin pie aroma!
