With each annual visit to the pumpkin
patch, teachers, room mothers, scout
troop leaders and parents alike often
wonder how to make the most of the
prize pumpkin that was chosen by a child.
Forget the messy and dangerous ideas
of carving. Pumpkin Painting is the perfect
solution to a creative dilemma!
Painting silly, goofy or scary faces or other designs can be a fun, yet
relatively simple activity for children and adults.
Preschool age children can even participate in creating their own
designs for their pumpkins. You certainly can't say that about carving
pumpkins!
The easiest design to paint on a pumpkin is a traditional jack-o-lantern
face. But here are some other ideas for festive designs:
- silly or goofy faces
- favorite cartoon characters
- fall leaves
- scarecrow
- witch
- princess
- turkey
- spider
- ghosts
- cats
- goblin
Painting pumpkins is a very economical craft as most supplies are
readily available (you probably already have some of these in your
home):
- washable markers
- acrylic craft paints
- newspaper
- spray sealer
- accessories such as raffia, jewelry, hats, etc.
Before beginning, decide what design you are going to paint and trace
that design onto a clean pumpkin. You can freehand the design or
select one of the many designs in the ultimate e-guide for pumpkin
painting, Easy Pumpkin Painting.
Once you or your child has painted their first pumpkin, chances are you’
ll want to paint an entire pumpkin family to proudly display at your home.
Pumpkin Painting is an annual family tradition at our house.
We hope it will be at yours as well.
Easy Pumpkin Painting is a guide that
contains step-by-step instructions and
color photographs of exactly how to paint
the cutest Halloween pumpkins. It also
contains templates that you can use to
paint your first pumpkin in about an hour!
