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.

  • 5/5 from Samantha Coleman, attended Oct 2024: We booked the kids Halloween Mache pumpkin workshop and didn’t really know what to expect as it was our first time. The teacher was really welcoming and gave really clear instructions on how to make our pumpkins. There was a good selection of colours and materials to choose from and we came home with two very spooky pumpkins. The boys were really happy! Overall I’d say it was good value for money and we would certainly want to book on for future workshops.

We did the activity with friends for Halloween/to meet with friends, there was two 4yr olds and a 2.5yr old and This was our 1st class in store and I have booked another for my son. I'd like to do an adult one as well, but would like more classes on other days of the week please.
