Toddler Halloween Craft: Tissue Paper Pumpkin

This one wasn't a big hit with Hulk, which is surprising because he normally loves glueing things.


As you can see in the above photo, pasting tissue paper to a pumpkin didn't hold his attention for very long. At least it didn't take much effort on my part. You just cut up orange tissue paper into squares and cut a pumpkin out of paper.


To cut out the pumpkin, fold the paper in half. For the glue, use the liquidy white kind because it is easy for dipping the pieces into.

This simple activity is to just scrunch the paper, dip it in the glue and put it on the pumpkin.  If he actually finished this one, you could also add a jack-o-lantern face with either paper construction paper or if you are super good with black tissue.


For us, Hulk was much more interested in watching the tissue paper fly by throwing it in the air all around him.
