Felt Pumpkin Jack-O-Lantern Activity for Preschoolers- Invitation to Play

These Felt Pumpkin Jack-o-Lanterns are the perfect invitation to play for your preschoolers. They are simple to make and create hours of creative play for your little ones.

My son loves creating things. Legos in our home are all sorts of things. Dragons, robots, doggies, cars, etc. He also loves being silly! That is why this Felt Pumpkin Jack-O-Lantern activity was perfect for him. He can build all sorts of faces, and be silly at the same time. He was telling me what the shapes were too, so we were learning as we went.

I love this Preschool Felt Jack-o-Lantern activity because it cost me a whopping $2. I cut the orange felt sheets in half and made two fat pumpkins and two skinny tall pumpkins. Then I used two black sheets of felt and had fun cutting all sorts of shapes for him to play with.

If you don’t feel like you have any artistic skills, you can search for pumpkin shapes on google and print a pumpkin shape to trace. Otherwise just wing the shapes. Pumpkins come in all different sizes and shapes. Cut out as many pumpkins as you desire or one for each member of your class. Then with the black felt cut all sorts of different shapes. Some the size of eyes, some the size of noses and some mouths. I made triangles, circles, squares, rectangles, diamonds, ovals etc. Then for the mouths I cut some with sharp teeth, some with straight teeth, some crescent shapes and some larger circles and ovals. Let your imagination run wild. Then set the pumpkins out on the table and put the black shapes in the center and let the kids get creative making their own versions of Jack-o-Lanterns.

Simple, fun and so easy!!
