I partnered with Dreamworks to create this Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts-Inspired Mandu Pumpkin!

I’m getting ready for Halloween with a special Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts-inspired craft. Mandu is the six-legged, four-eyed, blue-skinned baby pig who is full of personality and gets into everything and everything alongside her human friend Kipo. Can you think of a better pumpkin inspiration than Mandu?

I love how easy it is to make a Mandu pumpkin! Best of all, as someone who knows just how many coats of paint it normally takes when I make a pumpkin, I love that you can buy teal pumpkins at the craft store!
