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.
Our workshop spaces in some stores are located in open areas, and we will endeavour to minimise interruption from other crafters.
Please note: Messy aprons are not supplied. We would recommend bringing your own or
This workshop is also available as a private workshop for group bookings of 4+.
Keeping everyone safe
At Hobbycraft, we want our workshops to be enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for everyone. Some workshops are suitable for children, and where this is the case, a parent or legal guardian is responsible for supervising their child at all times unless the workshop is clearly stated as suitable for independent attendance. Our colleagues and instructors are there to guide the activity and support a safe environment, and if any concerns about safety or wellbeing arise during a workshop, these should be raised with a member of staff straight away.

- 5/5 from Fiona Holman, attended Oct 2024: These classes are great fun, and it is nice for the kids to have a go at the messy stuff outside the house first.

They both created an amazing pumpkin to take home they were proud of them.
- 5/5 from Shannon Thompson, attended Oct 2024: Great activity to do for all ages. Great value for money too.l and even better all the mess stays there.
- 5/5 from Lisa, attended Oct 2024: Great activity for all ages, my daughter loved the pumpkin making and will be returning to complete other activities. All the fun but no tidying up, or mess at home.
- 5/5 from Rachel Tilling, attended Oct 2023: Thank you very much for a wonderful mache pumpkin workshop today. Sally gave us lots of tips on how to do paper mache and we came away with some fantastic creations ready to decorate the house for Halloween. We had a lovely morning and the kids are already asking when we will be coming back for another session.
- 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2023: great cosy group. not excessive numbers of people, will do it again and keep an eye out for other activities
- 5/5 from Rachel Maccoss, attended Oct 2023: This was great fun. Our teacher was brilliant and helped adapt the craft to my strong willed child. Final products look fab Would definitely do another workshop.
- 5/5 from Christina Joseph, attended Oct 2023: We arrived late due to traffic problems but the teacher Kate was very accommodating. My grandaughter aged 5 absolutely loved the pumpkin mache, it was great fun
- 5/5 from Bev, attended Oct 2023: Really good value for money, my 3 year old really enjoyed it. Thought we were going to get some eyes for the pumpkins like in the pictures but bought some ourselves after!
- 5/5 from Kym, attended Oct 2023: Great time making a papier-mâché pumpkin, my 4 year old loved it! Would recommend for any pre-schooler.
- 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2023: The teacher was very friendly, the materials were all available aplenty, and most importantly my 5 year old loved it. It was a very welcoming inclusive environment and great fun.
- 5/5 from Emma Woollett, attended Oct 2023: Sally was a very kind and patient leader of the session, my daughter really enjoyed making her pumpkin and it will take pride of place in the window come Halloween. Very good value for money.
- 3/5 from Aman Bedi, attended Oct 2023: Hi. The workshop was ok. My kids were happy to come back home with a decorated pumpkin and liked the activity overall but said, “it was too much of the same thing - sticking, gluing, brushing, and there was no wet wipe to clean our hands.”
- 5/5 from Anne Li, attended Oct 2022: My girls had the Mache Pumpkins workshop in Oxford today. Kat was very helpful and funny. She taught the girls to use colourful tissue paper and glue to decorate. The course was 6 pounds per head. I checked on the hobbycraft website, the mache Pumpkins costs more than 6 pounds. It is the second time the girls have lessons at Hobbycraft. We will come back next time for the Christmas workshop. Thank you.
- 5/5 from Jess Ward, attended Oct 2022: We had a wonderful time at the pumpkin decoupage workshop the other day. Sarah Jane was lovely and friendly and had great suggestions for my son. She was happy to go and grab extra materials and added to the positive experience. The space was clean (not when we left it after all the fun and crafting though) and perfectly set up for making and creating! Really enjoyable workshop. Thankyou!
- 5/5 from Oana Borhan, attended Oct 2022: I booked this workshop for my 3 year old and she absolutely loved it. Thought it was a really good value, supplies used were plenty and we got to take home a ten eyed pumpkin (toddlers and googly eyes obsessions). Sally was so friendly and helpful, and gave my daughter space to become comfortable which is so important as she is so shy generally. We all had a great time.
- 5/5 from Jessica Dhiman, attended Oct 2022: The teacher was friendly and helpful. Great resources and activity to do at a good price. The children had a great time and their pumpkins look fantastic on the side. Thank you.
- 4/5 from Victoria Proffitt, attended Oct 2022: Lovely small arts and crafts class well organised with a lovely lady to help with everyone’s needs
