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.

Workshop suitable for ages 3+ years. All kids’ craft workshops require adult supervision. One ticket is required per child.  

Our workshop spaces in some stores are located in open areas, and we will endeavour to minimise interruption from other crafters.

Keeping everyone safe  

At Hobbycraft, we want our workshops to be enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for everyone. Some workshops are suitable for children, and where this is the case, a parent or legal guardian is responsible for supervising their child at all times unless the workshop is clearly stated as suitable for independent attendance. Our colleagues and instructors are there to guide the activity and support a safe environment, and if any concerns about safety or wellbeing arise during a workshop, these should be raised with a member of staff straight away.

Recent reviews of Kids' Halloween Mache Pumpkin Workshop

  • 5/5 from Leanne Nash, attended Oct 2025: Two of my children took part in the pumpkin paper mache craft workshop. Both children have ADHD, yet were both fully emersed in the activity! My eldest, age 12, was reluctant to go but said he really enjoyed it and was glad he went. My youngest, age 6, loves crafting and had a great time. The pumpkins, whilst very different, turned out beautifully! My 3rd child was unable to attend due to another commitment, (we had booked a 3rd spot in the workshop for him)so we were able to take the items to complete at home. He loved it too! The teacher Jenny, was lovely and helpful. We have already booked all 3 of our children on to a Christmas workshop and cannot wait! Thankyou Hobbycraft

Jenny was so lovely and was really helpful and kind to all of the children. Nothing was too much trouble. I have visited this branch on 2 separate occasions now and on both visits all the staff were so friendly and helpful. Thank you also to all the staff who managed to get to the branch on Saturday despite horrendous floods right next to the shop. We thought you would cancel our workshop but thankfully it went ahead and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you so much
