How to make yarn wrapped pumpkins

We used purple yarn for our second color markers, but really you could choose any other color. You just need to differentiate between the two players. If you’re having a kids Halloween party this is a great craft to do at one station. Then have them play each other at the next station.

Almost any age can create these yarn pumpkins. You just may need to help them tie a knot in it. Other than that they will be able to do it.

Of course you could do brown pumpkins instead of purple or whatever color you choose. They have plenty to choose from. Design can be improvised around larger objects if you’d like, but fingers are just so easy. You can grab our free Tic Tac Toe printable to play this on paper and use our Thanksgiving scavenger hunt printables too.
