This year we fancied getting started with our pumpkin decorations early but there aren\u2019t any pumpkins for sale in our local shop yet! So, we\u2019ve solved the problem by making our own pumpkins to decorate instead, with this easy HANDPRINT AND PAPER BAG PUMPKIN CRAFT!\u00a0<\/p>\n

These paper bag pumpkins are stuffed, so they are nice and plump just like real pumpkins! We\u2019ve had a lovely time decorating them with all sorts of different faces, some scary and some just fun and silly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My favourite thing about these paper bag pumpkins is the handprint leaves. I think they are such a cute addition!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve made our pumpkins from a mix of large orange paper bags<\/a> and small orange paper bags<\/a>. Some of ours came with handles but we just snipped them off before crafting with them. If you can\u2019t get orange bags you could always use ordinary white or brown bags and paint them instead.<\/p>\n

We love our homemade pumpkins but we do love real pumpkins at Halloween too. The trouble is, pumpkin carving is lots of fun for grown-ups but it\u2019s actually really tricky and nigh on impossible for little hands! In the past we\u2019ve opted for painting pumpkins<\/a> or making wax resist pumpkins<\/a> instead. They are both excellent pumpkin carving alternatives that even very young children can enjoy.<\/p>\n
