5 Kid-Friendly Ways to Decorate Pumpkins | Haring Realty

October 26th is National Pumpkin Day, and it's time to celebrate! The pumpkin is synonymous with the autumn months and inspires a slew of fall-themed activities, including pumpkin carving. However, if you're interested in switching up your pumpkin decorating this autumn, our REALTORS® know there are many kid-friendly alternatives. Here are a few options to consider.

  1. Paint Your Pumpkins
    The popularity of pumpkin painting is rapidly increasing for several reasons. This decorative option is suitable for any age group; even young toddlers can use non-toxic finger paints to customize their pumpkins.

    You can make pumpkin painting as simple or complex as you like. For more in-depth designs, break out the paint brushes and stencils to create an autumn-inspired work of art.

    If decorating with adults or older kids, spray paint is another option for pumpkin painting. Or, try paint sticks specifically designed for use on pumpkins. 

  2. Decorate the Pumpkins with Small Objects and Glue
    Have a collection of small craft supplies you're ready to use for your fall decor? Grab a couple of bottles of glue and use your craft collection to adorn your pumpkin.

    Some objects to consider include buttons, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, plastic spiders, ribbons, felt, pom-poms, and construction paper scraps. Arrange the objects to make a collage, or opt for a themed pumpkin.

    For example, craft spiders and ribbons or pipe cleaners can be used to decorate a pumpkin with webs and spiders. Or, make an autumn owl by cutting a few circular pieces of felt to make eyes and a beak, and use pipe cleaners at the bottom of the pumpkin for the feet. 

  3. Break Out the Sharpies for Pumpkin Drawing
    If you're arriving home after an evening of exploring Galion homes for sale but still want to enjoy an evening of autumn crafts, Sharpies are one of the simplest solutions for pumpkin decorating.

    Stick with a simple design and draw jack-o-lantern faces with black Sharpies. Or, sketch a shadow figure of your favorite Halloween mascot. A witch silhouette or phantom looks especially creepy.

    Or, grab a variety of colors for a more colorful look. White pumpkins work especially well for this project. 

  4. Use Contact Paper to Make Spooky Pumpkin Faces
    Contact paper is a type of adhesive vinyl that comes in an assortment of colors and patterns. You can cut it into initials or words to adorn the pumpkin, or you might use it to produce shapes and designs to decorate the pumpkin. 

    If you use black contact paper, you can even make jack-o-lantern faces for your pumpkin.

  5. Put Your Sticker Collection to Use
    Stickers are a fun, easy way to decorate a pumpkin. Small, circular stickers are perfect for making a polka dot pumpkin, while letter or number stickers make it a breeze to create a pumpkin with a personalized expression or phrase. 

While carving jack-o-lanterns is one festive option for transforming your pumpkins, there are many other decorating possibilities your whole family will love. Interested in finding a home with more space for holiday-inspired fun? Contact us to get started!
