Mini Pumpkin Painting
For a mess-free alternative to traditional pumpkin carving, mini pumpkin painting is an absolute favorite for families with young children. Gather a variety of small, white and orange gourds from your local market. Because there is no sharp carving tools involved, kids of all ages can safely participate in decorating their own personal pumpkins.
Set out acrylic paints, paint markers, glitter, sequins, and stick-on gems. Kids can paint intricate patterns, turn their pumpkins into colorful disco balls with glitter, or paint faces to create mini monsters. These painted gourds last much longer than carved pumpkins, ensuring your beautiful porch display remains vibrant and rot-free throughout the entire autumn season.
