Kid Friendly Colorful Faux Pumpkins

INSIDE : Tips on how to create Kid Friendly Colorful faux Pumpkins for this Fall and Autumn season with minimal effort involved! All these are very kid friendly.

Fall is such a fun time of the year with pumpkins, apple cider, and falling leaves.  This year I’ve decided to go with more non-traditional colors for fall.  Earlier this year I made a fun cream felt pumpkin and I also added washi tape to a pumpkin because, hello I have so much spare washi tape sitting around!

 

This is such a simple and easy project.  It would be a blast to have your kids join in on it, too!

I went to my local Hobby Lobby craft store and bought a package of seven small faux pumpkin.  I got out my craft paints, I used simple acrylic paint, and gave all the pumpkins a coat or two of fresh color.  Goodbye yellow and orange, hello blue, green and black!

 

 

I set these pumpkins down at kiddo level.  I believe in having some “no touch” decorations and having some kid friendly accessible decorations available for them to touch, play with and even roll around a bit.

And you can even take it a step further and let your kiddos add white polka dots to the pumpkins!

 

 

Now that my kids can actually play with these fun painted pumpkins, they’ve been busy making all kinds of pumpkin soups, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin towers, and they even did a little pumpkin bowling.  I love the imaginations of children!
