Pumpkin Patch Wreath Craft For Kids
There are loads of fall themes that are great to use during the fall. Pumpkins happen to be a favorite for us. We have a fun time looking for them in pumpkin patches, reading books about them and so much more.
We wanted something fun to decorate for the fall. And I love having my girls’ creations around the house. This is a great way to add a little fall in a fun way with the pumpkin patch wreath.
The Pumpkin Patch Wreath Craft is a great addition to the pumpkin activities and the wreath crafts on the site.
What is a Wreath Craft
A wreath is a collection of items around a circle. It can be used as a seasonal decoration around a house.

Book To Read With Our Pumpkin Wreath
One of our favorite fall books is The Pumpkin Book. It is a fun way to learn about pumpkins. We decided that we would make a pumpkin wreath after we read the book.
What you need for the Pumpkin Patch Wreath Craft
- construction paper
- white cardstock
- glue
- paper plate – center cut out
- green yarn
- scissors
- oil pastels (orange and brown colored ones)
- orange glitter paper
- dot markers
- circle punch 1 1/2 inches
How to Make the Pumpkin Patch Wreaths
Step 1: Dot Marker the Paper Plate Green
I love using the dot marker for painting that paper plates because they dry so fast. You can color them any way you want. We used the main dot marker and the dot marker brillant for our green colors. I put a paper under the wreath to help keep the table clean.
Step 2: Color the Pumpkins with Oil Pastels
The next step is to color the cardstock. I like using cardstock because it makes the pumpkins last longer with the coloring. We use oil pastels because you can blends colors on them nicely.
Step 3: Punch out the Pumpkins
After you have your coloring done you punch out the pumpkin. We use the circle punch for this. But you could trace and cut a circle if you wanted. The punch just makes it easier.
Older kids can also turn the punch upside down to see the correct area they want punch.
Step 4: Draw Lines On The Pumpkins
Then the next step is optional. We draw lines on our pumpkins. This is a fun way to add something extra to our pumpkins. We used green and various browns to draw our lines
Step 5: Make Glitter Pumpkins
We also added a few glitter cardstock pumpkins. This is a nice way to mix things up. You can also add the lines to these pumpkins as well.
Step 6: Glue the Stems on the Pumpkins
Next, we put on the stem. I have several strips of green construction paper ready so they could cut their own stem for their pumpkins. We all have a different idea of what it should be.
Step 7: Wrap Yarn Around the Wreath
We pulled out the yarn and cut a random amount length to use on our wreath. We tapped the start on the back. Then we wrapped them around. We tapped the yarn in random places on the back to keep the yarn loosely around the wreath. This makes a fun vine effect on the wreath.
Step 8: Glue on the Pumpkins
Our final step was to glue on the pumpkins! It is always fun to see how they glue everything on to their wreaths.
