Step one: Drawing your pumpkins
Luckily this craft is pretty simple, and the steps are pretty easy! For this first step, use your pencil to draw a pumpkin on your cardboard. The ones shown here are about four inches wide.
Step two: Cut out your pumpkins
Cut out the pumpkin that you just drew. You can use this to stencil and draw more pumpkins for your kids’ craft! I made four pumpkins, one for each little one here at the house.
Step three: Getting enough yarn
This is the step where you’ll get the yarn ready for wrapping. I roughly measured two arm lengths of yarn and cut it. I did this once for each pumpkin.
Step four: Securing the yarn
Tape the yarn to the back of the pumpkin. This will help anchor it so it doesn’t keep unwrapping when little one is wrapping it around the pumpkin.
Step five: Wrapping the yarn pumpkin crafts
Let your little creators begin wrapping the yarn around the pumpkin. Show them how to wrap the yarn from every angle and cover the pumpkin with the brilliant orange yarn.
When they’re done wrapping, tie the yarn in a knot onto one of the strings on the back and snip off the excess.
Display those beautiful pumpkin crafts for kids! You have a great harvest and you should be proud to display them!
