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 Sarah, attended Oct 2024: Did this for Halloween for my 4 year old daughter. Think I enjoyed it more than her. Teacher was great giving instructions and trying to encourage the little kids when they got a bit fed up and just wanted to play with the glue.

  • 3/5 from Hayley Lloyd House, attended Oct 2024: We had a great time, the host was lovely and chatty, going round and giving support. Would be great to have had some hand wipes (for very sticky fingers and colour bleed) and more ideas of how to create different effects and other decoration to choose.
  • 5/5 from Belinda Lombard, attended Oct 2023: Great session. All the kids enjoyed making their pumpkins. An hour seems just about the right time.

  • 4/5 from Ivy May Tehan, attended Oct 2023: The class was good, however my granddaughter was getting frustrated at the tissue paper sticking to her fingers and then wanted to play at peeling off the glue and paper from her hands, would have liked a bit more input but she was well supported, maybe having bits already prepped like the tissue paper in a variety colours, might have been a better option but still very enjoyable and a great price, picture offering workshop a bit misleading as my granddaughter thought she was making 3 pumpkins

  • 5/5 from Aimee Lavender, attended Oct 2022: The workshop was lovely as always, had everything we needed. The teacher was very welcoming. My son is learning Spanish and she was happy to get involved in the conversation as she knows some basics too
  • 4/5 from Sheri Wilkinson, attended Oct 2022: Great little crafting project for the children. Great they were encouraged to be creative and nit have to stick to the tradtional orange and green.
