Directions

Download the mummy pumpkin template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.

Begin by gluing the eyes to the middle of the pumpkin. If your kids want to, they can also color the eyes yellow or green to look spookier.

Take the mummy wrap strips and glue them all over the pumpkin, leaving some of the eyes exposed. Alternatively, you can have kids cut their own strips or even tear the paper instead of cutting them out.

Next, glue the stem to the top and back of the pumpkin.

Create the mouth by gluing the tongue to the bottom of the mouth. Trim off any excess paper.

Finish up by gluing the mouth below the eyes, in the middle of the pumpkin.

This is a fun Halloween craft for kids we know they’ll enjoy!

Halloween Ideas For Kids

Kids’ Books About Halloween

There are so many reasons why reading aloud to your kids is one of the best things you can do for them. Just a few reasons include: it helps with vocabulary and language development, fosters a love of books and reading, and helps children learn to focus and pay attention!

For those reasons, we recommend starting off the holiday season with books.

Below are some of the top-rated Halloween books for kids. Add them to your home collection or borrow them from your local library.

Room On The Broom: This has to be one of our favorite Halloween books of all time! The story follows a witch and her cat as they happen upon some animals who help the witch. There’s danger, mystery, and friendship in this adorable children’s story.
