It is that time of year again – FALL! My all-time favorite season! If you are like me, you are probably looking for some fun unique ways to create your pumpkins with the kids. Not looking forward to the mess of carving or your little ones are too young to participate in carving (or don’t have a long enough attention span?) Look no further! Put down those carving tools and check out all these alternatives.
Tangled Spider Web Pumpkins
I love this Tangled Spider Web Pumpkin Idea – how simple is this by just taking some string and wrapping it around your pumpkin and adding on a plastic spider? Great idea for toddlers or boys that like creepy crawly things.
Candy Corn Painted Pumpkin
I love these candy corn painted pumpkins – all you need is some spray paint in white, orange and yellow and those odd long shaped pumpkins and you have yourself a sweet decoration to put outside. This idea is top on my list for this year – I truly LOVE these!
Cut Out Magazine Face Pumpkins
How funny are these cut out magazine face pumpkins? Can this be any easier to do? The kids would have so much fun cutting out faces from your old magazines to create some hilarious pumpkins to sit around the house. Glue dots or glue sticks are perfect for this. Maybe even cut out photos of the family and create your family?
Sequin Pumpkins
I am BIG fan of sparkle and these sequin pumpkins would do just that in the sun during the day. Sequins come in all colors and shapes and the kids will have a blast gluing these on to their pumpkins. It will definitely keep them busy for a while – double BONUS.
Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head Pumpkins
These Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head Pumpkins are too funny! If you have kids you definitely have some of these toys hanging around the house – pull them out and stick them in your pumpkins. Or you can find a large variety of pumpkin push-ins sold in the store in all sorts of fun – so EASY.
Rhinestone Pumpkins
Rhinestone pumpkins are right up my alley. Get out the glue gun and your rhinestones and just go crazy. You can also find self-stick rhinestones in the craft store to make this design easy for the little ones. Local craft stores now carry rhinestones in all sorts of fun colors and shapes and you can even paint your pumpkin first and then bling it up – oh the sparkly possibilities!
