Need a quick and easy fall craft idea? Using supplies you probably already have, set your kids loose with these easy paper pumpkin crafts!

During school breaks, it’s fun to do a craft here and there. My boys are hit and miss with crafting so I don’t always plan ahead.

Our first craft of the week is what I like to call one of the easiest paper pumpkin crafts ever. Because it is.

Paper Pumpkin Craft Supplies

• White Paper
• Orange Paper
• Green Paper
• Black Paper
• Black Marker
• Glue Stick
• Scissors

Use card-stock or construction paper or if you’re like me, the back of a school flyer.

I drew a pumpkin on the white paper and let the boys go to town cutting it out. Cutting, as I have learned, is a great way to extend the length of a craft.

Most kids in kindergarten and up can cut their own shapes or paper strips. Let them!

You spend that time sipping coffee, do a little reading. No judgment here. Clink.

If you don’t want to draw your pumpkin, here print mine! More coffee for you.

We had some school announcements that came home on orange paper. It was perfect for this so once the pumpkins were cut, I told the kids to rip that paper up! They were confused. It was fun.

Then it was time to glue the pieces on and add the green stem with glue. Glue sticks! Who doesn’t love a glue stick?

Seriously, even I wanted to do it. It’s the simple things.

When the paper pumpkin crafts were done, Oscar had the great idea to make them jack-o-lanterns.

Why not? I said, feeling like mom-of-the-year. Tape them to your doors? Yes!

It was going to be a great fall break. We had breakfast, I drank coffee, the boys made a pumpkin craft and it was already 8:56am. Only 2 more weeks to go!

Winning.
