Below you’ll find instructions on how to make a Winnie the Pooh pumpkin that is so easy that its a project the whole family will enjoy. And what would Pooh be without his favorite Hunny Pot!? With a smaller pumpkin you can bring Pooh’s favorite treat to life complete with a little honeybee!
Here’s what you’ll need!
- 1 round, circular pumpkin
- 1 short, narrow pumpkin
- Acrylic paint
- Paintbrushes
- Yellow, black, and white felt
- Scissors

How To Make:
- To make the Winnie the Pooh pumpkin, start by painting the rounder pumpkin yellow.
- Let dry.
- Paint another coat of yellow paint over pumpkin if desired. Let dry.
- On the yellow pumpkin, paint Winnie the Pooh’s eyes, eyebrows, and nose with black paint.
- Then, cut out two semi-circles out of the yellow felt. These will be Winnie the Pooh’s ears.
- Use hot glue to glue them on the top sides of the yellow pumpkin.
- To make the Hunny Pot pumpkin, paint the shorter, narrower pumpkin blue.
- Let dry.
- Paint another coat of blue paint over pumpkin if desired.
- On the blue pumpkin, paint a light blue stripe around the middle of the pumpkin and paint the top quarter of the pumpkin slightly darker blue.

- Paint a yellow drip of “hunny” on the top left corner of the blue pumpkin, under the dark blue top. Let dry.
- Cut out a bee body shape from yellow felt, two wing shapes out of white felt, and stripes and an eye shape out of black felt.
