INSIDE: 25+ Awesome kid-approved no-carve pumpkin painting ideas that are a great alternative to all that mess of pumpkin guts and seeds!
Pumpkin Painting Ideas
Oh man carving pumpkins with little kids is hard work. Carving pumpkins period is difficult. I think I actually broke a knife once doing it. And one year when we actually purchased a pumpkin carving knife, things didn’t exactly go smoothly. Granted it was slightly easier but then I put the knife in a special spot where I thought I would be able to find it the following year and promptly forgot that special place. Long story short this year we are ditching carving the pumpkin painting it instead!
I put together this list of fantastic ideas that kids can easily do solo or with a little assistance. They are all super creative ideas that give you a finished product that is porch worthy! Plus the joy on your little artist’s face will be priceless!
I can’t wait to try a few of these ideas with my kids and I hope you will too!

Sensory Play Kits for Kids
Play is at the core of learning during the early years and it can take many forms. One of the most important of these is sensory play because it engages all of a child’s senses (taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing) and has a enoumous positive impact on brain development.
Our Sensory Play Kits are a fun and easy way to keep your child engaged while at the same time capitalizing on the benefits of sensory play to nurture their mind!
