Materials Needed

Pumpkin. We used craft ones. USA Shopping Link. UK Shopping Link.
Glue. USA Shopping Link. UK Shopping Link.
Modge Podge. USA Shopping Link. UK Shopping Link.
Leaves/flowers. (We chose to go and pick them but you can actually buy dried leaves/flowers on Amazon. USA Shopping Link. UK Shopping Link.)

Instructions

Head out on a fun nature walk and pick some different leaves, flowers and anything you think has a good representation of the season. We like to go when we’ve had a few dry days so that the items are all dried out ready.
Cover your pumpkin in glue.
Attach your leaves/flowers/nature pieces to the pumpkin. I find it best to push them down for a few seconds.
Use modge podge to cover over the nature pieces on your pumpkin to seal them.
Leave to dry.

They are really that easy to do and it’s a great activity to use up some time and get outdoors too!
