Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first – print out the pumpkin printable, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper.
  • Use the crayons to color in the pumpkin design.
  • When done coloring, take the black cardstock paper and cut out a jack-o-lantern face.
  • Glue those pieces to the pumpkin design.
  • Now trim out the shape and discard excess paper.
  • Next grab your choice of colored cardstock paper {I did brown for our example images} and a pencil.
  • Trace your hand TWICE on the paper.
  • Trim out both designs.
  • Now grab the ribbon and cut off TWO long pieces.
  • To finish off the jack-o-lantern hug craft, simply staple the ribbon and handprint cutouts to each side of the pumpkin shape.
  • Add the wiggle eyes and draw on a smile.
  • Display as is or gift away to spread some cheer this Halloween season!

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. 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!
