This Easy Paper Pumpkin Thanksgiving craft is bound to be a hit with kids. The step-by-step tutorial makes it an enjoyable group activity. Use it as a decor piece or for personalized cards!

No festival or celebration is complete without an elaborate spread of delectable food, right? At the mention of Thanksgiving, apart from the famous turkey roast, images of pies, desserts, and flavourful sauces fill your mind taking you on a sensorial food tour. Talking of pies, did you know pumpkin pies are an integral part of the feast? What a wonderful to make this nutritious vegetable appealing to kids!

Now, interestingly, pumpkins are also associated with Halloween. The famous Jack-o-lantern is an oft-repeated story told to kids to teach them right from wrong. So, depending upon the kind of parent you are, you could spook them into eating the pumpkin or encourage a genuine liking for it. I, personally, would go with the latter option. And, if there’s a cute pumpkin Thanksgiving craft to boot, then who knows, I’d have created a pumpkin lover for life!
