Creative kids will love crafting a unique Halloween decoration that is certain to set a spooky scene! This mache pumpkin project is a great way to get the Halloween fun started and it’ll teach them all about making with mache.

The tutorial is designed for kids aged three years and over. They’ll have an expert Hobbycraft colleague showing them every step of the way, with a fantastic variety of craft materials provided in store to help them transform one spooky pumpkin – from googly eyes to tissue paper! There are so many ways to make something unique.

Whether kids have never made with mache before or they just love getting stuck in with this versatile craft, the workshop will be a fun way to embrace Halloween excitement.

All participants will walk away with pumpkins to put on display. Please note, you may need to allow for drying time.

  • 4/5 from Harriet Henderson, attended Oct 2026: Nice and simple for young children. My five year old enjoyed it. Being in the way of some shoppers wasn’t ideal, but there aren’t other options at the shop
  • 4/5 from Chris, attended Oct 2026: A great halloween activity, that both me & my grandson very much enjoyed doing together Thank you Hobbycraft Solihull xx
  • 4/5 from Lesley McGovern, attended Oct 2026: There were only my 2 grandchildren there. It was fun - even I learnt how to make paper mache on an existing pumpkin. Although it was not a special occasion 45 mins was certainly enough for the 6 yr old - I think it was too long for the grandaughter who was nearly 4yrs. She really was unable to cut anything & I had to do most things for her. Glitter was her thing but nevertheless I think she enjoyed it. She was reluctant to have anything to do with bats etc but succumed in the end. I really think the sessions should be geared to 4/5yr olds. The teacher was patient & good.
  • 3/5 from Estella Poore, attended Oct 2026: For me it's was really let down by the table. Advert says 3 plus and adimed at children. But the table was inappropriate for 3 year olds. My little girl couldn't see well nor could the other 2 children on the session. No booster seats either.. to be fair the lady did try and gave my friend a pillow off shop floor. Helped a little bit I just had my girl on my lap meaning 2 thing's she couldn't reach much to do it herself and I couldn't grab things either. No glitter ourside of the table either but to be fair if we asked we did get it and lady was faultless. Just the table you need a kids table for a kids session.
  • 5/5 from Nosheen Aurangzaib, attended Sep 2026: Great class, very hands-on the teacher was lovely and really enjoyed the Halloween theme
  • 5/5 from Kathryn, attended Sep 2026: Really enjoyable, both my daughters age 10 & 11 years old loved creating their pumpkins. I think I want to take part next time.
  • 5/5 from Shamila Hussain, attended Sep 2026: Nice craft well organised and super friendly member of staff! Our second time at a workshop here
  • 5/5 from Hannah, attended Sep 2026: We really loved pumpkin mache decorating with Numea, she was so much fun and encouraging for the children. Lots of different tissue papers, glitter and googly eyes. Relaxing and fun atmosphere. Excellent price too! We've already booked to do the ghosts!

  • 5/5 from Kirsty Bullough, attended Sep 2026: Great class, thank you for hosting us! We would definitely book again. Blackpool staff are always friendly and helpful.
  • 5/5 from Freya, attended Sep 2026: My daughter attended a Kids' Halloween Mache Pumpkin Workshop and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. Everything my daughter needed was provided and every child that attended had ample supplies so nobody went without. I have to give a shout out to Sam who run the workshop because she was absolutely amazing and so helpful. She made sure every child was looked after and she didn't hesitate to make sure they had everything they needed. She is a credit to Hobbycraft! Thank you so much Sam, we will definitely be booking more workshops in the future because of our experience today.
  • 4/5 from Rebecca Saddington-Smith, attended Sep 2026: Both boys had a great time creating these pumpkins. The lady was friendly and helpful and we had plenty of time to finish. The resources were good but could have provided a few extra bits to decorate them with or some patterned paper instead of just plain. Also the table area is quite small so would be nice if there was a bigger space.
  • 3/5 from Michelle Bradford, attended Sep 2026: We had a nice time but had to ask for a marker pen as on your photos we thought colour pens we’re going to be provided for smaller details etc
  • 3/5 from Miyuki Madison Yamaguchi, attended Sep 2026: It was ok, my daughter find the workshop too short, not enough time to decorate the pumpkin...
