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 Maria Ramirez, attended Oct 2022: My 3yrs old and me we had lot of fun with this workshop, learning another way to coloring this new material for us (mache). The teacher was pretty kind and helpful with everyone. The time goes running and it totally worth for the money. 100% recommended.
  • 5/5 from Anita Flinn, attended Oct 2022: As usual the workshop was great value for money. Big pumpkin, lots of choice of tissue paper colours for decoration, and finished product was well worth it! Only suggestion I would make was there should be a facility to wash hands afterwards as it was a very sticky activity with glue and my grandaughter had extremely sticky hands afterwards. Luckily another mum with a toddler had some wipes, so not much of a problem. Other than that it was great and would certainly book again.
  • 5/5 from Ruth Vize, attended Oct 2022: Brilliant class. The lady, Charlotte was lovely and friendly. My children enjoyed creating their pumpkins. Will be back for the Christmas classes
  • 4/5 from Kellie Tilling, attended Oct 2022: Workshop was really fun. Teacher was lovely and rally e thusiastic and bubbley. My little boy enjoyed the workshop and there were plenty of materials for everyone to complete their project.
