Jack O Lantern Name Craft

This fun Jack-O’-Lantern Name Craft gives students a festive way to practice name recognition, name spelling, and letter identification during Halloween.

Children build their personalized pumpkin by arranging individual letter pieces to spell their name, creating an engaging Halloween name activity that combines early literacy with cutting and gluing.

This pumpkin name craft is ideal for preschool, pre-K, kindergarten, special education, literacy centers, and October classroom activities. Students can practice sequencing the letters in their name while strengthening fine motor skills, visual recognition, and early spelling confidence.

Use the finished jack-o’-lanterns for classroom displays, bulletin boards, morning work, small groups, or independent literacy practice. This editable name craft makes name learning more meaningful because each child creates a personalized project featuring one of the first words they learn to recognize, spell, and write—their own name.
