Clever No Carve/Painted Pumpkin Ideas for Kids
Painted Pumpkin Idea List
Here are my favorite no-carve pumpkin ideas that kids can help make! Personally, I would rather do painting than have to carve into the oozing pumpkin guts! :-) Most of these are found on Instagram (no instructions) so if you have an awesome pumpkin idea tag me @crafty_morning so I can add it to this post! Also, check out some no carve storybook character pumpkins!
Pumpkin Bats made by Adas Interior Design – She used black foam sheet for the wings and poked toothpicks in to hold them.
Glow in The Dark Pumpkins– Make glow in the dark pumpkins using dimensional tulip paint! Use a fake plastic pumpkin so you can pull it out every year too! Find the video tutorial here from SoCraftastic.
Ninja Turtle Pumpkins made by Nakia – She used her son’s costume masks as the bandanas!

Adorable! I’ll be painting pumpkins with my grandkids this weekend!
Nice projects that can be worked in small in smaller time increments. I’m recovering from surgery and motor skills are still a challenge for me, excepte when I’m working with 5 year old grandson :)
Great idea something different for a change!
These are so adorable! I love that this is an activity for both older and younger children :)
awesome ideas for the grandkids thanks
