Pumpkin People Play-Doh Halloween Activity

Pumpkin Play-Doh People are the perfect hands on learning Play-Doh Halloween Activity activity for kids of all ages. Kids will love making their own pumpkin Play-doh people with the fall scented play-doh.

I am always looking for fun new sensory activities for my children’s homeschooling. With Halloween coming up on us I figured it would be fun to do a twist on one of their favorite videos of the five little pumpkins. From that came this super cute Pumpkin People Play-Doh Halloween Activity! I already had a batch of fall scented play-doh that I made and the kids had LOVED! They made their own little pumpkins out of the orange play-doh. Then when we were done we sang the song together.

To keep all of the little pieces organized I used a plastic party platter that was divided for things like vegetables and dip. If you don’t have one of these I really recommend it you can get them at the dollar tree or grab them here on Amazon. I have found so many uses for them in our homeschooling adventures. They are seriously a MUST have!

If you don’t have time to go to the store you can just use a bunch of different little bowls. I wasn’t going to go out of my way to collect the different items to make this so I just went through my craft closet and picked out different things. The most important things are the pipe cleaners and the googly eyes which I had picked up before at the dollar tree.
