Every Halloween we love to carve pumpkins as a family – everyone creates their own design. Whether spooky, silly or simple– this is a favorite Halloween tradition. But we also like to try something new with pumpkins too! This year we opted for using foam pumpkins that we can use year after year. We transformed our faux pumpkins into cute little animals by using just scrap book paper. All you need are scissors, glue and our templates and you are ready to create these darling little DIY animal pumpkins! We have provided templates to make an Owl, Raccoon and a Fox. But of course, you can create any animal you can dream of. How cute would a panda be?! Or even an elephant! Another thing we love about these animal pumpkins is that the kids have a blast helping make these.

Turn your Halloween pumpkins into cute little woodland creatures, like this darling fox. Add an orange paper tail and ears to give this pumpkin a true fox feel. This project is a fun, family-friendly way to create cute, no-carve pumpkins. All you need is scrapbook paper and mini glue dots.
