Halloween is fast approaching, and our kids have been busy working on various Halloween crafts. One of our favorites is a Halloween pumpkin craft created by my sister. This is an easy and fun activity perfect for kids of all ages. The younger ones will need a little help with cutting, but older kids can make this craft on their own.
