Description
My build a pumpkin craft and writing prompts are the perfect, no prep Halloween activity for 1st and 2nd grade. 3 templates ensure that every pumpkin activity on your October bulletin board is unique! Post your pumpkin crafts and prompts in the hallway to make an engaging Halloween display.
If you're racing to figure out what cute project to quickly put up in the hallway for Halloween, look no further. Students can complete the craft part in one class period. And you can use the accompanying writing prompts to post alongside your pumpkins.
Basically, each child receives a copy of the pumpkin template and one of the three pages of patterns. Then, they color everything, cut out the parts, and glue it together. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
This craftivity also comes with a PowerPoint with step-by-step pictures and simply written directions for young children. Use it for either whole group or small group instruction. Or, assign it to students via Google Classroom, Canvas, etc. so they can work independently.
Are you going to be absent and your substitute won't have access to technology? No problem! Use the 1-page all-in-one step-by-step picture directions. Just print it out and include it with your sub plans. And then do nothing. Yes, nothing, because I've done it all for you!

I think these have been my students favorite project in our arts and crafts rotation this Halloween season! We always keep multiple options for them in my After Care program and they have absolutely LOVED this one! We had them displayed for parents to see and they loved them too! Thank you so much for this resource! :)
