10 Craft Ideas to do With Pumpkin Coloring Pages
Once your masterpieces are colored, don't let those pumpkin pages pile up! Turn them into fun, affordable crafts for lasting enjoyment.
1. Pumpkin Patch Playmat
Grab a large piece of poster board or butcher paper. Cut out various sized colored pumpkins from your pages and glue them randomly across the board to create an imaginative “pumpkin patch.” Add green construction paper “vines” and use it as a play scene for small toys.
2. Festive Pumpkin Garland
Cut out several colored pumpkin shapes, making sure they vary in size. Use a hole punch to create two holes at the top of each pumpkin. Thread them onto a length of yarn or ribbon to create a festive garland to hang across a doorway, window, or mantelpiece.
3. Wearable Pumpkin Mask or Headband
Carefully cut out a large, bold pumpkin from your colored page. For a mask, punch holes for eyes and attach elastic string or yarn. For a headband, glue the pumpkin to a strip of construction paper sized to fit around a head, or attach it to a plain plastic headband.
4. Glowing Pumpkin Luminary Jars
Cut out small pumpkin shapes, faces, or even whole scenes from your colored pages. Glue them onto the outside of clean, empty glass jars (like mason jars). Once dry, place an LED tea light inside each jar to create a warm, glowing pumpkin luminary.
5. Pop-Up Pumpkin Card
Fold a piece of construction paper in half to make a greeting card. Cut out several colored pumpkin shapes. Fold each pumpkin in half lengthwise, then glue one half of each pumpkin to the inside crease of the card, creating a delightful 3D pop-up effect when opened.
6. Pumpkin Stick Puppets
Cut out individual colored pumpkins, especially ones with unique faces or expressions. Glue each pumpkin securely onto a craft stick, popsicle stick, or even a sturdy straw. Use your collection of pumpkin characters to put on a fun “pumpkin patch” puppet show!
7. Pumpkin Window Clings
Cut out your favorite colored pumpkin shapes. Place them onto a sheet of clear contact paper, leaving space between each. Cover with another layer of contact paper to laminate, then trim around the pumpkins. These simple “clings” can be smoothed onto windows or mirrors.
8. “My Pumpkin Patch” Photo Collage
Take a piece of sturdy poster board. Cut out many different colored pumpkin shapes from your pages. Arrange and glue them artistically around a central space left empty for a favorite family photo. This creates a custom, pumpkin-themed frame and collage all in one.
9. Wobbly Pumpkin Characters
Cut out a colored pumpkin, especially one with a cheerful face. Glue it to a piece of cardstock for extra rigidity. Coil a pipe cleaner into a spring shape, glue one end to the back of the pumpkin and the other to a small paper plate or stand, making your pumpkin wobble with a touch!
10. Pumpkin Story Starter Prompts
Laminate several individual colored pumpkin cut-outs using clear contact paper or a laminator. On the back of each, write a different story prompt related to pumpkins (e.g., “If my pumpkin could talk, it would say…”, “My pumpkin went on an adventure…”). Use them as creative writing inspiration cards.
