I don’t carve pumpkins anymore, I paint! Because I have small children, this is just the easiest and most fun for them now. My daughter LOVED her Minnie Mouse Pumpkin last year. I have a big pumpkin primed and ready to paint on Halloween. I’ll reveal it soon!
These are some wonderful pumpkins the older girls at my daughter’s school painted. Each year they display their art work and I’m always super impressed with their creativity! Some are painted on plastic pumpkins, perfect for saving for next year.
Dr. Suess is so fun! This is a big gourd sitting on a plastic container, the hat is a paper plate.

Painting the pumpkin sure looks a lot easier, less messy and more fun. I don’t know if my pumpkin will turn out like yours, but definitely this is what I’m doing next year.

We’re definitely painting this year. I’m not a fan of pumpkin guts, and neither is my three-year-old.

Pumpkins from MY Pumpkin Party didn't turn out NEAR as cute as these @livinglocurto http://bit.ly/3giMOT

Those are great (and very satisfying) photos!!!
I love the painted pumpkins! If we had painted instead of carved two weekends ago, we would still have pumpkins (not a moldy mess) to show off at Halloween!
