How to make this Pumpkin Photo Craft

Step 1: Print the pumpkin template

Print the pumpkin craft on regular printer paper or cardstock. Cardstock makes the finished craft a little sturdier if you plan to display it.

Step 2: Color the pumpkin

Invite your little one to color the pumpkin using crayons, markers, or colored pencils. They can use classic orange and green or get creative with their favorite fall colors. Encourage them to color the words and leaf to make the craft their own.

Step 3: Cut out the pumpkin

Once the coloring is finished, carefully cut around the outside of the pumpkin. Younger kids may need help with this step, while older ones can practice their scissor skills. If preferred, you can also leave the craft on the full sheet without cutting it out.

Step 4: Add a favorite photo

Choose a favorite photo and trim it to fit inside the circle on the pumpkin. A school picture or recently printed photo works perfectly.

If you have a 2-inch circle punch, you can use it to quickly cut the photo into a perfect circle. Otherwise, simply trim it with scissors. Once it’s the right size, glue the photo into the center of the pumpkin. This simple step turns the coloring page into a special fall keepsake.
