Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Craft Activity

This Pumpkin Craft is a great activity for the months of October and November! Students will cut and glue their very own pumpkins using kid-friendly patterns that not only make the cutest fall bulletin board but are easy prep for teachers too! Students can make one of both pumpkins and then choose to keep them plain or make one a Jack-O-Lantern.

What’s included in this pdf:

• Step-by-step directions
• Templates that can be copied directly onto colored cardstock or construction paper and then cut out by students.
