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!

- 4/5 from Julie Parsons, attended Oct 2022: The children had a fun session today. I didn't here her name but she was very friendly and engaged the children. The class was for an hour but this amount of time was excessive fir the task. All the materials you needed were to hand, just a shame there easnt anything to put the wet pumpkins on other than a hobbycraft plastic bag. Maybe a board would have been an idea.
