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.

Recent reviews of Kids' Halloween Mache Pumpkin Workshop
- 5/5 from Elizabeth Barley, attended Oct 2025: I came with two feisty small people and Charlie did a great job of getting them engaged. The set up and equipment were all great. Thank you.
- 5/5 from Dee Betts, attended Oct 2025: Great half-term Halloween themed workshop, very attentive organiser, got a bit messy but able to use hand washing facilities
- 3/5 from L, attended Oct 2025: It was a bit of entertainment for 30mins, not very interactive with the person holding it staying quiet unless asked a question, left to just get on with the craft ourselves and not inclusive as a group
- 5/5 from Hayley Newlove, attended Oct 2024: My children took part on the paper mache halloween pumpkin workshop. The facilitator was great and really engaging and the girls had fun chatting to other children involved.
- 5/5 from Lexie Flitter, attended Oct 2024: My daughters did the Halloween pumpkin papemache craft afternoon and they really enjoyed it! The lady teaching was lovely and the girls thought her Halloween costume was brilliant! It was a great start to the half-term and I will definitely book them in for crafting again!
- 5/5 from Amanda Gordge, attended Oct 2024: Teacher was good. She interacted with all the children and parents and gave ideas and lots of positive feedback. A good activity to do at a workshop as it is quite messy! Prices have been going up for the workshops - but hasn’t everything!
- 5/5 from Karen Ransom, attended Oct 2023: Very good teacher with the children. My grandkids loved it. We are back for the Christmas craft
- 5/5 from Aimee Silver, attended Oct 2023: My boys ages 5 & 9 absolutely loved making these! Teacher was very friendly and helpful, plenty of glue and coloured paper to chose from. Located upstairs at the back of the store so nice and quiet area. An hour well spent, would recommend.
- 5/5 from Nataliya Shchelkanova, attended Oct 2023: Thank a lot for this wonderful workshop. My daughter and me were happy to attend it!
- 5/5 from Julie, attended Oct 2023: My two granddaughters throughly enjoyed making paper- mâché pumpkins today. Holly was a lovely teach, with all suitable materials provided. The only disappointment was there wasn’t anywhere to wash our hand (which were covered in glue and dye from the tissue paper). Or wet wipes provided
- 5/5 from Hayley Dawes, attended Oct 2023: We loved it, brilliant activity for my four year old during half-term. Thank you x
- 5/5 from Charlotte Bird, attended Oct 2023: Fantastic workshop for my 8 year old. The teacher was very chatty and approachable, and was talking to the children. Good equipment and lots of choices in colour. I think this workshop was well worth the £6 it cost and saves me from needing to tidy up at home
- 5/5 from Nichola Grimzhaw, attended Oct 2023: Lovely class for my 3 and 5 year old. Emma was super helpful and lots of materials included for the price which was welcome.
- 4/5 from Anuksha, attended Oct 2023: We had a good time in doing kids' Mache Pumpkin craft activity at Hobbycraft, Basingstoke.
- 4/5 from Sarah Wiles, attended Oct 2023: Friendly & helpful teacher. Good resources. My children enjoyed the activity & want to do another class!
- 4/5 from Lisa Folan, attended Oct 2023: We had a lovely time creating a pumpkin. There was plenty of resources and the teacher was lovely and helpful. Will definitely be back for other workshops.
- 5/5 from Rosalind Kershaw, attended Oct 2022: Our grandson really enjoyed decorating the pumpkin. Thought he might be a bit old at 11 but he does enjoy making things so was spot on.
- 5/5 from Suzanne Talbot, attended Oct 2022: This class was excellent value for money. My Grandchildren aged 3 & 5 loved decorating the pumpkins (and so did the adults). The member of staff was very friendly and instructed the children on how to do the decorating and was always on hand to top up the glue and help if needed. There was plenty of assorted tissue paper, bandages and eyes to choose from and the hour long session was perfect. At the end you were given a battery operated tea light to put inside your pumpkin for that finishing touch.
- 5/5 from Victoria Harper, attended Oct 2022: Lovely halloween activity for children. Teacher was lovely. Looking forward to some other workshops at Christmas
- 5/5 from Beth Trenchard, attended Oct 2022: Lovely experience. Huge pumpkin to decorate teacher was friendly. Not many 'Halloween' options for paper but didn't effect my little artist as our pumpkin was a rainbow fairy!
