Pumpkin Craft Cut and Paste

Bring hands-on fall learning into your classroom with this Pumpkin Craft Cut and Paste activity! Designed for preschool, pre-K, and kindergarten, this engaging craft combines coloring, cutting, assembling, gluing, and labeling.

Children will build their own pumpkin while learning to identify its external parts: skin, rib, leaf, stem, and vine. With several printing options included, you can select the version that best suits your students and preparation time.

✏️ How to Use the Pumpkin Craft Cut and Paste

Choose from three preparation options:

• Pre-Colored Craft: Print the colored page for a quick, low-preparation activity.
• Color-Your-Own Craft: Children color the black-and-white pieces before cutting and assembling.
• Colored-Paper Craft: Print the skin and rib pieces on orange paper and the leaf, stem, and vine pieces on green paper.

Children cut out the pieces, arrange them to create a pumpkin, and glue everything in place. They can then add the optional word labels and draw lines connecting each label to the matching pumpkin part.

Use the completed crafts for individual projects, fall bulletin boards, science lessons, or a colorful classroom pumpkin patch display.
