Build a pumpkin your children fill with thank-yous to God—one they color, write on, and put together piece by piece.
Thanksgiving is a good time to help your children stop and name what they are thankful for. This free Thanksgiving pumpkin craft gives them a pumpkin to fill with their own thank-yous to God.
Kids color the pumpkin and its segments, then write something they are thankful to God for on each piece. They stack the segments into a full pumpkin and finish it with a “Thank You God for…” banner and a cheerful sunflower on top. A full-color version makes it simple to start.
It’s a Thanksgiving keepsake your children build themselves—one that helps them see just how much God has given them.
What makes it meaningful
A pumpkin full of thanks — kids write what they are thankful to God for on each piece, then build it into a pumpkin
Build it piece by piece — color and cut the pumpkin segments, then stack them into a full, layered pumpkin
A cheerful finish — top it off with a sunflower and a “Thank You God for…” banner
Two ways to make it — use the full-color pumpkin, or color the black-and-white one their own way
