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.

Thank you very much to the instructor!

  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2023: The lady who ran the class was excellent, she was very helpful and interactive with the children! Was definitely a fun activity and all 3 of mine loved it so will definitely come back for more
  • 4/5 from Emma Ferreira, attended Oct 2023: The teacher was very welcoming and gave clear instructions that were easy for the children to follow. Materials were provided, but there did seem to be a very limited choice.
  • 5/5 from Victoria Sharpe, attended Oct 2022: We had a wonderful time at the Farnborough store with our instructor Glen. He was fun, encouraging, friendly and very helpful which made the overall experience 10/10. All of the materials were supplied and to of a high quality.

  • 5/5 from Devon Kearton, attended Oct 2022: Parenting win! Easy pre book, turn up empty handed and leave mess free! Great value with all materials provided and help and advice on hand. Left with a fantastic mache pumpkin that my daughter is very pleased with.
  • 4/5 from Jaspreet Samra, attended Oct 2022: Fran (the teacher) was amazing, she was very supportive and guided the children through the activity. There were ample supplies of different coloured tissue paper and decoupage glue. What would have been helpful would be to have easy ways to hold the pumpkin to better decorate (maybe a removable handle or something). Also, maybe having pre-cut/torn tissue paper ready to save time. Overall, the children really enjoyed this activity.
