Let’s slow it down with step-by-step directions on how to make this easy pumpkin patch craft ideas.

Step 1:

Color and cut the pumpkin patch images.

Step 2:

Cut the green paper into 1-inch strips

Step 3:

Using one paper at a time, glue one end of a paper strip to the plate. Make a loop, curl, or other shape with the paper strip, to make a vine. Glue down the other end of the strip.

Step 4:

Continue to add more paper strips on the plate to create the pumpkin patch maze.

Step 5:

Glue the pumpkin images to the pumpkin patch maze.

Tip: Want the pumpkins to stand up? Cut a small square of cardboard and fold in half to make an “L” shape. Glue the pumpkin to one side of the cardboard, and the other side of the cardboard onto the plate to make the pumpkin stand.

Step 6:

When finished, tilt the plate to roll the pom pom, which represents a pumpkin, through the vines.
