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.

Keeping everyone safe  

At Hobbycraft, we want our workshops to be enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for everyone.

Recent reviews of Kids' Halloween Mache Pumpkin Workshop

  • 5/5 from Clare Hooper, attended Nov 2025: Private workshop for 3 children. Lovely, friendly host, relaxed experience. Plenty of space, free parking (2 hrs max). Wide variety of things used to decorate the pumpkins. Will book child workshop again. Have noticed the prices have increased. To decrease price, or avoid further price increases I would be happy for the host not to stay. Or do book on 3 add one free.
  • 5/5 from Donna Finch, attended Oct 2025: Great way to start off the Halloween celebrations with Mache Pumpkin workshop with Debbie who was very welcoming and friendly. She encouraged the children to be as expressive as they liked with the large selection of tissue paper colours and googly eyes. We look forward to the next one.
  • 5/5 from Victoria Vidler, attended Oct 2025: My kids loved this will definitely be booking again! Lots of fun and the lady running it was great
  • 5/5 from Eva Dale, attended Oct 2025: My daughter loved the workshop and Tegan who ran the class was brilliant! Would definitely recommend
  • 5/5 from Vivienne Hyndman, attended Oct 2025: I took my two grandchildren with my mother and we had a wonderful time. The lady explained clearly what we were going to do, ie papier-mâché a pumpkin, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. My grandchildren are 3 and 5 so we did need to help them but the lady was very encouraging and supplied everything we needed. I would thoroughly recommend this session.
  • 5/5 from Rae Beck, attended Oct 2025: I came with my grandparents and learned how to decorate a pumpkin using paper mache and glue. I liked using lots of glue and my mummy loved my pumpkin. I have been to Hobbycraft for a workshop before and they are always great.
  • 3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2025: provided with everything you need. Brief instruction was given then you are on your own.
  • 3/5 from Vanessa, attended Oct 2025: It was a nice workshop. Probably best for 7+ My children needed my help and while the woman running the workshop was very nice, she was working on her own pumpkin rather than helping which would have been better. I’d also suggest pre cutting some bits of paper rather than having to tear it all while you’re fingers are sticky and covered in glue
  • 5/5 from Linda Seagraves, attended Oct 2023: Really good value for money and lots of materials to use. Would recommend. My grandson loved it.
  • 5/5 from Lynn Smith, attended Oct 2023: I took my 3 grandchildren aged 10, 6 and 3 and they all really enjoyed it. The teacher was great. She helped me with the 2 youngest as I had my hands full! There was plenty of tissue paper and glue available and all 3 pumpkins looked amazing when they were finished. We'll definitely be booking for future workshops.

  • 5/5 from Joanne Cripps, attended Oct 2023: We really enjoyed the workshop this morning. The lady running it was very helpful and chatted and interacted with the children. We liked the new craft room!
  • 4/5 from Eleanor Howell, attended Oct 2023: It was a good session, would have been better if material cut up. My daughter aged 6 enjoyed it, however my 2 year old lost interest unfortunately, so I got to participate on his behalf instead.
