Handprint Pumpkin Template
This pumpkin handprint craft is simple to make and only needs a few supplies you likely already have on hand.
Supplies needed
- cardstock (or if you want to print it on colored paper we love this colorful cardstock)
- washable paints (these are the ones we use for all of our handprint crafts)
- paintbrush
- kids glue
- scissors
- googly wiggle eyes (Optional)
- Wipes!! It helps to have these handy so you don’t make a complete mess of your table!
How to Use the Template
Print the free template below. It comes on three pages in landscape: the pumpkin handprint template and two pages of Halloween stickers.
If you’re printing on colored paper, only print the first page; the stickers look best on white paper.
Cardstock works better than regular printer paper, but both will do.
Once printed, paint your child’s hand (we used classic orange) and press it onto the pumpkin with the stalk at the top.
Carefully lift the hand, let it dry, then decorate with stickers or googly eyes.
The stickers can be used on this craft or cut out for other seasonal fun—like decorating trick-or-treat bags.
After the craft, try our free pumpkin bingo game for even more fall fun.
