Look, we don’t know about you, but as far as we are concerned, pumpkin carving is a Halloween tradition that is all sorts of overrated.
All that labour, all the mess – and most often, it never quite ends up looking as good as the ones we have poured over on Pinterest anyway.
Enter painted pumpkins – the much-less-hassle way out when it comes to doing Halloween-y crafts with the kids.
You’re welcome, mamas:
1. Sprinkles pumpkin
We don’t know about you, but we think this makes for one sweet Halloween table centerpiece.
2. Tiny message pumpkins
Paint mini pumpkins with chalk paint, and use chalk or a paint marker to write little messages on them.
3. Floral pumpkins
This might be a job for older children or adults, but still; look how pretty!
4. Unicorn pumpkin
Because unicorns are life.
5. Welcome pumpkin
Gold acrylic paint and a very fine brush, and voila; you are all set.
6. Chalky Paint Pumpkins
Add a coat of chalk paint to your pumpkins for a farmhouse-worthy display.
7. Gold and white
If you are looking for a chic way to decorate the dinner table for any autumnal dinner parties, we think this idea is pretty amazing.
8. Patterened pumpkins
All you need is some acrylic paint and masking tape, and you are good to go.
9. Totally 80s pumpkins
We are SO doing this!
10. Pink and panda pumpkins
We are all sorts of in love with these painted pumpkins – such an easy and fun project to get the kids involved in.
