Easy No-Carve, Painted Pumpkins

Kids Crafts

1 Sep

I hate carving pumpkins. Typically, I leave that job to my husband. But, when I saw painted pumpkins on Pinterest, I was almost positive Emma would want to try it out this year. And, I was right!

So, we headed to Walmart to grab a couple of “perfect” pumpkins. Then, we grabbed our paints and headed home.  

Emma wanted to do hers all by herself. So, I let her. Her lines aren’t perfect, but I love her little Minion! She loves to paint and create, and I love that she is so proud of her little guy. She’s going to be so sad when it starts to rot and we have to throw him away.

Anyhow, mine was supposed to be Minnie Mouse. I can’t find my black ribbon to make a bow, though. So, I have a beautiful polka-dot pumpkin, and I like her that way. {Or, I’m too tired to care…}

    So cute! I hadn’t thought of painting a pumpkin before but it’s such a good idea, especially for younger children. 🙂 #anythinggoes

    […] Easy No-Carve Painted Pumpkins | My daughter and I had a blast painting pumpkins a few years ago. Mine was inspired by a favorite Disney character. Hers was inspired by her favorite movie at the time. (If you have a very little one, finger painting on a pumpkin might be more their speed.) […]
