Pumpkin Patch Handprint Keepsake Idea

Inspired by my personal love of fall and the absolutely best “pumpkin everything” season – today’s Welcome To My Pumpkin Patch Keepsake Kid Craft idea is super easy to make within minutes and it’s relatively inexpensive too.

If you have a printer in your home – you are well on your way to pulling this DIY pumpkin patch craft activity together and creating a great piece with your child, to treasure for years to come!

In this #gluedtomycrafts post, I’ve included a FREE pumpkin patch printable template, so all you need to do is print the file in color on simple white cardstock, grab some orange cardstock paper and have children make a handprint “jack-o-lantern” to place in the middle of the pumpkin patch field. It’s so simple, you nor your child, have NO excuse NOT to pull it together!

So let’s get to it! Download the file below and get to work on creating this adorable pumpkin themed craft today. I hope you enjoy making it with your child!

Handprint Welcome To My Pumpkin Patch Keepsake

Get creative this year with your pumpkin patch memories! This handprint keepsake is the perfect way to cherish those special moments, so grab the kids and press their hands into some pumpkins.

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First print the pumpkin patch printable above, on a single piece of white cardstock paper. You will need ONE printable per craft. Set it aside.
  • Now grab your orange cardstock, pencil and scissors.
  • Trace your child’s hand on the cardstock.
  • Trim out the handprint with scissors.
  • Adhere the orange handprint cutout to the center of the printable.
  • Add embellishments to give it the look of a pumpkin or jack-o-lantern. I used some green curling ribbon for the vine of the pumpkin.
  • Finally – add any other embellishments you see fit. Like glitter, little paper flowers, bows – whatever!
  • When done, set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Then display proudly for all to see!
  • BTW  – you can also use our printable for a CARROT PATCH instead!

Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
