Having everything ready before you begin will make the crafting process smoother and more enjoyable for both you and the children.

Directions:

Recreating this first day of fall craft is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to make it come to life within minutes:

  • Start by downloading the free printable template.
  • Have the kids color in five of the pumpkin shapes {I included an extra pumpkin just in case!} Then, assist them in cutting out each pumpkin and the fall saying using scissors.
  • Help the kids trace their hand onto light brown cardstock and cut it out. Once done, set all the paper pieces aside for now.
  • Using a green marker, draw squiggly vines all over the dark brown paper to create a fun, textured background.
  • Glue the handprint cutout in the center of the decorated paper. Next, attach the five pumpkin shapes and sayings around the handprint.
  • Follow that up by gluing down the five pumpkin shapes and sayings.
  • In each pumpkin shape, have the kids write one of their top five reasons why they love fall.
  • Once everything is glued down, set the craft aside to dry completely. When it’s ready, proudly display or gift your adorable paper pumpkin patch keepsake!
  • Don’t forget to snap some pictures of your masterpiece and share them with us – we’d love to see your creativity in action!

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.
