[Childcare] Halloween Pumpkin Craft Ideas [Part 2]
When you think of something that represents Halloween, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the pumpkin, right?
In its place of origin, the custom is to carve a pumpkin into a jack-o’-lantern to ward off evil.
In Japan, though, it’s become more of a symbolic character of Halloween.
In this article, we introduce ideas for making jack-o’-lanterns and pumpkin-themed crafts using scrap materials and everyday items.
Be sure to decorate with them or wear them, and enjoy Halloween day!

Swaying balloon pumpkin
Here’s how to make cute wobbly balloon decorations for Halloween.
Prepare balloons, marbles, a felt-tip pen, and rubber bands.
Put a marble inside a balloon and tie it tightly with a rubber band so it won’t come out.
Turn the balloon right side out, blow air into it, and tie the opening.
Draw a face with a felt-tip pen, and your adorable wobbly balloon is done! Using dot stickers for the facial features is also recommended.
Make lots of wobbly balloons with different expressions and line them up as Halloween decorations—kids will love them.
