    You thought I was joking when I told you I've got your no-carve pumpkin ideas coming all this week. We are a family that loves Halloween and particularly loves decorating pumpkins.

    The challenge is that carving pumpkins needs to be done closer to Halloween so that you don't have yourself a wilted molding-looking pumpkin come the night off. So what is a family to do the other three weeks of our favorite month? Non-carve options... obviously!

    We highlighted this Fall craft along with some other fun kids' crafts in our October Crafts for Kids along with our 101+ Easy Craft Ideas for kids.

    Rainbow-Painted-Pumpkins

    Why not paint your pumpkins? (Did I also mention that we're kookoo for rainbows?

    Painted Pumpkins...

    can be so much fun for the kids and give them the ability to bring their imaginations to life.

    Supplies

    Painted-Pumpkins-1
    • Pumpkin
    • Paint
    • Paint Brushes

    Directions

    The only thing I recommend is that you cover up your table with a tablecloth you don't mind getting paint on.

    Painted-Pumpkins-2

    We are fancy in our paint palates and use paper plates.

    Painted-Pumpkins-3

    Arm your little one with a brush and let their imaginations run wild. We named this little guy Bow... short for rainbow (of course)

    painted-pumpkins-5

    We even got a little crazy and added some glitter (from our glitter pumpkin project) to our painted ones. Wooh! If your kids are anything like my little ones, they love to paint get their hands dirty and create something beautiful. Encourage creativity. It's a wonderful thing to watch.
