What To Do With The Extra Pumpkins

Craft For All Ages

By Adrianne Butwell November 7, 2024

Now that Halloween has passed, you might be wondering what you should do with all of your remaining pumpkins. We have an activity that can allow you to enjoy your indoor pumpkins for a little longer! You can even use a craft pumpkin, like we did, so you can set it out each and every year.

This activity is good for all ages. Decorate yours to match your chic motif, and allow your little ones to practice their fine motor skills and creativity.

What you'll need:

  • Pumpkin (any size, any color, real or fake)
  • Mod podge
  • Dry flowers and leaves
  • Paint brush or sponge 
  • (optional) Glitter

Lay out a cloth or paper in order to protect your work surface. Paint your pumpkin with mod podge, then press your flowers and leaves to it. Add a top coat of mod podge. You can sprinkle glitter over the wet mod podge, or you can use a mod podge that contains glitter if you choose. Let your pumpkin dry. Enjoy!
