A three-dimensional pumpkin like a paper balloon

Halloween Origami: Easy-to-Follow 3D Pumpkin Ghost Folding Instructions — Jack-o’-Lantern

By its nature, origami often ends up with angular shapes when finished.

That crisp look has its own charm, but it doesn’t capture the cuteness of rounded objects.

That’s why I recommend this 3D pumpkin, like a paper balloon.

While it does have some angular parts, it features many curved surfaces overall, giving it a unique form unlike other origami.

It requires slightly delicate technique, but with solid support from a parent, even children can make it—so please give it a try for reference.

Footprint Pumpkin Art

[Nursery/Kindergarten] 7 Halloween craft ideas using handprint and footprint art!

If you want to nurture your child’s imagination, I recommend pumpkin art using footprints.

This involves putting paint on the foot and using it to create a pumpkin.

Ask your child to share ideas on how to make a pumpkin with footprints.

Footprint art also has the benefit of recording growth.

It could be fun to make a pumpkin with footprints every year and compare them.

By the way, you can also make black cats with footprints.

Give that a try as well!

Swaying balloon pumpkin

[Easy at Home] Let's Make a Dangling Decoration!

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.

Stained-glass-style pumpkin

[Perfect for Halloween!] Make a transparent pumpkin with colored cellophane! 🎃 #preschoolcrafts #preschoolteacher #teachingideas #withkids #easycraft #coloredcellophane #pumpkin #halloweencraft #shorts

Stylish and beautiful! Here’s how to make stained glass-style pumpkins.

You’ll need orange construction paper, colored cellophane, scissors, and tape.

To make them, cut the construction paper into a pumpkin-shaped frame, apply tape to it, and arrange small pieces of colored cellophane freely on the sticky side.

Trim any excess with scissors, and you’re done! If you prepare several colors of cellophane in advance, you can really show off your unique style.

Try sticking them on classroom or home windows and doors!
