Easy and ADORABLE Pumpkin Carving Alternatives

Try some of these ideas instead of the traditional pumpkin carving!

Easy and ADORABLE Pumpkin Carving Alternatives

I have a 2 year old and 1 year old and they love getting crafty with paints or coloring.  I have really wanted to do something with them for Halloween.  The 2 year old, has been especially interested in pumpkins this year.  With them being too young to carve, which is what most of us default to, I was considering painting them.  Here are some fantastic and adorable ideas that kids can get involved with if you're looking for some alternatives like I was, or just those of us (like myself), who are far from gifted when it comes to pumpkin carving and slightly embarrassed to display them every Halloween!
