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.

Recent reviews of Kids' Halloween Mache Pumpkin Workshop
- 5/5 from Allyson, attended Oct 2025: We did a pumpkin decorating class with our 3 grandchildren, which was great. It was a nice small class of only 4 children with all materials provided. Emma was very helpful and the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
- 5/5 from Phyl, attended Oct 2025: It was great fun, my grandchildren aged 8 and 11 really enjoyed it. Nikki, who took the workshop, was very friendly, helpful, enthusiastic and full of ideas. I'm sure that will come again.
- 5/5 from Kirsty Sherrell, attended Oct 2024: My son attended the paper mache pumpkin class. The teacher was really friendly and welcoming and provided lots of materials for the children to use. Materials were constantly topped up when they were running low and there was no rush for the children to finish their pumpkins. They were encouraged to take their time. My son named his pumpkin Autumn
- 5/5 from Nicola Gothard, attended Oct 2024: Pumpkin decoupage. We enjoyed it and saved me the mess and buying more material than I needed
- 5/5 from Sarah Fenwick-Stubbs, attended Oct 2024: We really enjoyed decorating the pumpkins for Halloween. The instructions for my children were clear, not too many in the group so it was easy to share all the resources provided - which was plenty. Our instructor Elaine, was very welcoming and friendly and made my children (particularly my eldest son who is autistic) feel at ease. Very enjoyable and we’ll look at what else we can book for the future.
- 5/5 from Kaylee Kinder, attended Oct 2024: Great activity! And the member of staff (didn’t catch her name) was just as great!
- 5/5 from Samantha Aldridge, attended Oct 2022: We had a great time doing the Kids Mache Pumpkin workshop in the Newbury store today. Nicky was very helpful and patient with the children, all materials were provided and the kids came away with a brilliant Halloween decoration that we will be getting out for years to come. Brilliant value for money as well! I would definitely recommend and we will certainly be back to do another workshop again!
- 5/5 from Sandra Minns, attended Oct 2022: My daughter and her friend had a great time, they had more than enough materials to complete their pumpkin and the lady was so kind and helpful. We will definitely be back for another class. Thank you
