A paper Jackolantern with a smiling face
  • 98,480 Visits
This pick-a-face jack-o-lantern craft is a great Halloween craft for preschoolers or toddlers. Our daughter made at least 10 of these cute jack-o-lanterns! She loved being able to pick her own face pieces and glue them onto the pumpkin "all by herself". In fact, with a little prep work by an adult (cutting out the pieces), a preschool aged child can do this craft from start to finish on their own. Our printable template gives you lots of options for face pieces, or you can create your own.
