Halloween Kids Craft — Painted Pumpkins

Post by Darcy of bedtimemonsters.blogspot.com

I realize most people don’t paint pumpkins, they carve pumpkins. But in order to carve a pumpkin you need a knife (or a similar sharp utensil) and I have three children small children. And Knives are dangerous (remember The Outsiders?). So, all things considered, one day I would love love love to carve pumpkins with my children. But that day hasn’t come yet. Kudos to you who are more brave.

If you want to take the easy route, however, painting pumpkins with your kids is really fun. My kids loved it.

We used 10 ct. 2 oz. Bottles – Assorted Color Washable Kid’s Paint, which worked pretty well, but does rub off once dry, so be careful.

Now we’re ready for Halloween. And fall! Good times.
Behold the finished product! I think the stripe of red really adds something special. 🙂
