Cute and EASY Pumpkin Suncatcher

Updated on by | 14 Comments

This stained glass pumpkin suncatcher is an easy Halloween craft that I made with my kids a few years ago and every year it’s been one of our most popular pumpkin crafts for kids.

Of course it’s not really glass but the materials used mean the colours are a bit brighter than you would get with tissue paper and with the end result looks like stained glass which also gave us a great opportunity to talk about color mixing.

This easy pumpkin craft is a fantastic activity for toddlers or preschoolers as it’s great for fine motor skills and you can use it to discuss color mixing practice and scissor skills too!
