Are you looking for the perfect kid-friendly craft to make at home or school this fall? This Fingerprint Pumpkin Craft for Kids is a fun keepsake Halloween craft for toddlers that can be hung up at home or sent in the mail to let a loved one know that they are your favorite pumpkin in the patch. Be sure to download the Free Fingerprint Pumpkin Template here to easily make the cutest pumpkin craft on the block!
Download and print the Free Fingerprint Pumpkin template here on white cardstock. Use scissors to carefully cut along the dashed line to create a pumpkin window.
Secure the pumpkin template to a piece of plain white cardstock with washi tape so that the template doesn't move while painting.
You're ready to paint! Dip your finger in brown washable paint and stamp the stem first. Wash off your finger and then repeat the process using orange washable paint to make the pumpkin. Keep stamping until the entire pumpkin is covered. Set aside to dry completely.
While the pumpkin is drying, use scissors to cut out the 'You're my favorite pumpkin in the patch' tags. Attach the tag to orange construction paper with glue and cut out again leaving a small orange border around the tag. Glue the tag to the top of a piece of green construction paper.
To create the vine, wrap a green chenille stem around a pencil. Carefully pull the chenille stem off the pencil and set aside.
Once the pumpkin is dry, carefully remove the pieces of washi tape and the template. Use scissors to cut around the pumpkin leaving a small border. Attach the green chenille stem vine to the pumpkin with glue and then attach the pumpkin to the piece of green construction paper.
Hang up your finished masterpiece or send it in the mail to someone you love to brighten their day and let them know that they are your favorite pumpkin in the patch!
