A melton crayon pumpkin is the perfect fall activity. During our girls’ weekend, we decided to decorate pumpkins and we had a blast! It was very easy and the end result was a colorful and unique pumpkin that I could place on my front porch. If you are looking for a kids’ fall activity that doesn’t include carving a pumpkin, this is for you.
How to Make a Melted Crayon Pumpkin
This is a fun no-carve pumpkin your kids can help you make! Got some crayon pieces lying around? Gather them to make this unique pumpkin this Fall. This is one of my favorite Halloween activities for kids.
Gather Crayon Pumpkin Supplies
- Crayons (size dependent on the size of the pumpkin. Get enough to cover the top of the pumpkin).
- Glue Dots or Tacky Glue
- Hair dryer
- White Pumpkin
Melted Crayon Pumpkin Idea Instructions
Glue the crayons near the top of the pumpkin using Glue Dots or Tacky Glue. This will keep the crayons in place while you melt them.
Use a hairdryer to melt crayons. Be patient as the melting does not happen right away. This may take a few minutes.
Tilt the pumpkin to direct the wax to melt around the pumpkin. This process is so incredibly easy. The options are endless when it comes to what colors you choose to melt on your pumpkin.
Let the crayons dry completely. Feast your eyes on your unique faux pumpkin.
