Tye Dye Coffee Filter Pumpkin – Super Easy Fall Kid Craft Idea
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – coffee filters are an amazing thing to stockpile when it comes to crafting with children.
They are not super expensive, don’t take up much room in your craft stash and are really versatile when it comes to kid friendly activities.
Take for example, this Tye Dye Coffee Filter Pumpkin my son and I recently made together.
It’s the perfect fall afternoon craft and it’s super easy to assemble {just how I like it!} If kids love coloring and spraying water – they are going to LOVE this! Fun for all ages so let’s grab our supplies!
Find all the supplies and directions below for this coffee filter pumpkin idea. Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s pumpkins on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
