The Letter J is for Jack-O-Lantern - Paper Craft Idea For Kids

Orange Jack-O-Lantern Craft Idea For Kids

With Halloween about to knock on our front doors, today I’m sharing another kid friendly activity for fall that is SUPER simple for the younger children in your home. Plus, if you are looking for a more “mess-free” no carve option, I think this is the one to put on your to-do list!

With today’s paper pumpkin craft idea, children are going to recreate a jack-o-lantern from the letter “J” that doubles as a learning lesson, as well! If you have a printer in your home, you are well on your way to pulling it together with ease!

Simply download the provided template listed below and grab a few simple craft supplies to help your child “build” a jack-o-lantern from the letter J!

You can find everything you need to know, in the step-by-step tutorial below!

Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished paper jack-o-lantern craft with us on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
