Halloween is just around the corner, and one of the most popular ways to celebrate this spooky holiday is to carve pumpkins! Unfortunately, this tradition is not the safest for young children (or adults, for that matter!). Not to mention the fire hazard that is created by lighting a candle inside the pumpkin. A safer alternative that can be just as fun and decorative is to paint the pumpkins!What you need:
- Brushes (or just use your fingers!)
- Acrylic Paint
- Pumpkins
- newspaper- paper towels
- old clothes
- stickers or other decorative items
Instructions:
- Pick your pumpkins.
- Wash the outside if they are dirty, and dry them off with a paper towel.
- Spread your newspaper on work surface and put on your old clothes so you don't get messy.
- Use your brushes to paint your work of art pumpkin however you want!
- Let the paint dry in an out of reach place to avoid smudging.
- Add stickers, glitter, or any other decorations.
- Enjoy your pumpkin throughout the season!
For parents, painted pumpkins can be an affordable and beautiful way to decorate your house for fall!
