INSIDE: Today I have a fun twist on a tissue paper craft for Halloween. Turning tissue paper in a scrunched or crumpled paper craft for kids! The wonderful thing about these scrunched paper pumpkins is that they look 3D, like they are coming right out the page!

Wow, I am blown away by how fantastic this tissue paper pumpkin craft turned out! And it was so fun and easy to make! We will definitely be doing more crafts like this! By now you must know that I love to create Halloween activities and crafts! My kids’ favourite non-holiday is definitely Halloween. There is just so much that you can do around Halloween – from the different characters such as witches, skeletons, ghosts, monsters, haunted houses, spiders and so many more.
