Mini Pumpkins and Jack O’Lanterns

Mini pumpkins and jack o’lanterns make Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations come alive. Hang them as holiday ornaments. Create a pumpkin basketball game! Decorate them with crocheted spiders! String them together to make a spooky garland.

Measuring 2.5 to 3 inches, each pumpkin can swish easily into a child’s pocket. Coincidentally, these mini pumpkins are perfectly sized to accompany the whole band of Halloween dolls.

Crochet these little pumpkins with inexpensive and readily available acrylic yarn. Then, stuff them with polyester fiberfill to make them completely machine washable and dryable. With quick and easy cleanup, the kids can actually play with them.

Plus, they are so easy to make, you can crochet a bushel basket full in no time at all!

Then, let your child’s imagination go wild! First, throw a super-special Halloween party! And invite all the other Halloween character dolls! After all, the cast of characters include Helga, the Halloween witch and her cool black cat! Let Frankenstein and Dracula add drama. And don’t forget about pumpkinhead,  the scarecrow and  Cornelius the crow! Each character can get in on the Halloween action! The more, the merrier… or should I say scarier!
