Creating a Kids Halloween Party is so much fun, but one thing I have learned is that the kids love the games the most. It’s fun to create new games for the kids to play and I like to create games that get them moving. Plus the Halloween Pumpkin Golf game is simple and everyone coming can play it. The party is for 2-4 year olds so they will love hitting the golf ball.
Materials:
Shoebox
Orange Glitter Card Stock
Black Card Stock
Black Duct Tape
Cricut
Hot Glue Gun
Let’s Create a Halloween Pumpkin Golf Game
- On the Cricut I created this cute bat pumpkin the size of the shoebox, about 10 inches. I had to slice the bat wings in half because I don’t have a 12×24 mat. To create something larger than mat size, there are great videos on YouTube to watch.
- To make the opening for the mouth, I cut straight lines down from the side of the mouth. I wanted to make sure the opening was big enough for the kids to make a hole in one.
I traced the opening of the mouth onto the black wings and the box, then cut both. After cutting, I trimmed a little bit so that the box or the black piece didn’t show in the mouth opening.

Time to play bat pumpkin golf!
I bought eyeball ping-pong balls at the dollar store, my daughter grabbed them and put them in the cart and I realized they would be perfect for this game. Everything else she put into the cart, I put back (I wasn’t ready for Christmas stuff yet). My daughter has a golf set so I am using the putter (I hope that’s the right term) to play the golf game with. My kids are so excited to use it and for the party.
Happy Halloween!
