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.

Recent reviews of Kids' Halloween Mache Pumpkin Workshop

  • 5/5 from Kelly Scott, attended Oct 2025: It was really sweet, only a five children and Dawn was lovely demonstrating. The kids were young (3 and 4 years old) but they did really well in the relaxed session.
  • 3/5 from Angela Maskell, attended Oct 2025: No interaction with the young lady who ran the class. With it only been a small group (5) I felt she could have had more time to talk/interact with the young children A little disappointed
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Deery, attended Oct 2024: I brought my two children along to make a pumpkin and they absolutely loved it, in fact next time I'm going to book myself a place because it was so much fun. The lady running the class was called isobel and she was brilliant. We will definitely be back for another class!
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2024: We had a great time decorating the pumpkins Thank you to the teacher she was great
  • 5/5 from Sarah, attended Oct 2024: Pumpkin masterclass was great for my nearly 4 year old. We did the session together and she loved learning new things!! Teacher was calm and lovely to all kids and parents and came around to look at kids work throughout so they were all proud to show her! Really lovely activity to do with kids and good value for money (got the class at reduced £8 fee) - will definitely do another one!!!

  • 5/5 from Kiera Smith, attended Oct 2023: To be honest grandma took my daughter to do her pumpkin and she loved every minute of it!
  • 4/5 from Lucy Moore, attended Oct 2023: Teacher was so lovely and kind and spent a lot of time interacting with the group. Materials were fantastic, good range of colours to decorate pumpkins with and plenty of resources to use. Plenty of space to complete craft which was also wheelchair accessible.
  • 3/5 from Jen Huntsley, attended Oct 2023: It was a nice activity and the workshop leader was lovely with the children. However, there weren’t the full range of resources available as they had been used up on previous workshops. This was disappointing - we would have been better off buying the resources ourselves, as there were plenty on the shelves!
