Pumpkin Stamping Art Activity for Toddlers & Preschoolers
Pumpkin stamping is the perfect activity for toddlers and preschoolers to get messy and explore pumpkins and artistic expression.
The minute I saw the tiny pumpkins at the grocery store, I knew we were going to do pumpkin stamping art. It’s simple, and kids love exploring the guts and seeds.
We’ve done this in our apple theme, with apples of course. The patterns that the pumpkins make is different, and because there are so many pumpkin varieties, every art piece is going to look unique!
The hardest part about this activity is cutting the pumpkins in half. The smaller they are, the harder it is!
And don’t even attempt to slice through the stem.

Pumpkin Stamping Art
By the end, my son was covered in paint, and it was splattered all over the table. In other words, it was exactly what he needed that day! Laughing and giggling and getting out some of his “crazies.”
I highly recommend this activity to anyone with a child 2-5. The cleanup is absolutely worth it.
