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.

Cheryl was fantastic with the kids, engaging them and using their ideas to recommend materials and ways to make their vision come to life. All materials were included and it was good value. My daughter was absolutely thrilled to leave the session with her pumpkin bat and I would definitely recommend and book again.

  • 4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2023: Teacher was nervous as it was her first session, she didn't need to be, and definitely has potential - she should feel confident as she did well. I was a bit concerned at the beginning that there wasn't enough orange tissue paper considering they were making pumpkins, however there was just enough. Glue pots would have been useful.
