Let’s “carve out” some time this upcoming fall season, to make this awesome Welcome To My Pumpkin Patch kid craft idea with your child!!!
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!
Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us on your various social media sites, especially on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
