Young House Love » Holiday & Entertaining » Four No-Cut Pumpkin Decorating Ideas For Kids

Four No-Cut Pumpkin Decorating Ideas For Kids

Since one year olds aren’t really “of age” when it comes to pumpkin carving, we’ve been trying to figure out a way to involve Clara in pumpkin decorating this year. And she deserved a promotion from last year’s job as hand model:

Pumpkin Hand Tracing

Pumpkin Hands Done Light

So a few days ago we finally figured out a way for Clara’s hand to come in, um, handy again. But first – let’s introduce our subjects. We’ll call them Big Brother, Middle Child, and Little Piggy.

Pumpkins 1 Before

On Monday night I broke out my favorite all-purpose medium (aka painter’s tape) and marked out a traditional jack-o-lantern stencil on Middle Child.

Pumpkins 2 Face Tape

Then with an exacto knife I cut out the pattern carefully (okay, not that carefully – I sliced into the pumpkin a bit) and peeled away the extra tape.

Pumpkins 3 Cutting Face

Voila. He’s not done – just ready to be painted. Do you see where we’re going with this?

Pumpkins 4 Face Done

For Little Piggy I used a ruler to slice some thin strips of painter’s tape and created a stripe pattern all around the pumpkin.

Pumpkins 5 Striped Pumpkin

And for Big Brother we decided to go with a P to represent the whole Petersik family of four (four-leggers count in our house – so this isn’t a baby announcement).

Pumpkins 6 P Taped

A few more cuts later, and our trio of pumpkins were ready to meet their artist.

Pumpkins 8 Tape Is Done

And here she is now. Stripped down to a diaper and ready to make a mess.

Pumpkins 9 Clara Ready

We poured out some Crayola Washable Paints on a few paper plates and with some minor urging, Clara delicately started coloring her orange canvas.

Pumpkins 10 Clara Dipping

Pumpkins 11 Clara Diving In

She was a little confused by being allowed to make a mess, so it did take a little bit of hand holding to keep her going. In some cases literal hand holding – place palm in paint, now slap it on pumpkin and rub! That solicited a good amount of giggling. Anything to keep the ol’ artist inspired.

Pumpkins 12 Clara Striped

She grew a bit tired of touching the pumpkins after the first two (she liked just dabbing her hands in the paint instead), so Sherry took over the task of painting Big Brother. Which was probably for the best since we decided that a rough circle around the monogram might be fun (and there was no way little miss toddler hands could contain herself to such a strict parameter).

Pumpkins 15 Painted P

The verdict? Clara seemed to have a blast. But eventually we got the “all dawn!” signal (aka: all done) and decided to call our art session officially complete.

Pumpkins 13 Clara All Done

Not before snapping a few more cute pics, of course.

Pumpkins 14 Clara All Done

Once Sherry had whisked Clara off to the bathtub, I got to seeing what our artiste had accomplished. Yup, it was tape-peeling time…

Pumpkins 16 All 3 Painted

I carefully peeled of the painter’s tape to reveal our final result (with the paint still wet, since we feared that peeling it off once the paint was dry would result in the paint peeling off in chunks). Behold: Psychedelic pumpkins!

Pumpkins Outside

Sure, they’re not über sophisticated – but they were fun. And we think white pumpkins + a more refined color palette (yellow & gray? emerald and navy? teal & grellow?) could be really fun instead of the rainbow-inspired color scheme that Clara chose. Oh and we sprayed them over with a sealer (we had Aileen’s Gloss Spray Acrylic Sealer around, so hopefully that’ll do the trick) because this paint is washable, so we don’t want a rainstorm to send colors bleeding all over our bench (hopefully our porch awning + sealer = enough protection).

And on the subject of pumpkins, let’s take a walk down memory lane. You’ve already seen our handprint-eyed jack-o-lantern from 2010 (first pic) but that was actually in addition to the crazy puffy painted versions that we also did last year (without Clara’s help). I think they’re our favorites of all time – and they could be fun to do with kids too.

Pumpkins Final 1

In 2009 we went the creepy route and painted insects on white pumpkins (and yes, monograms or initials tend to be a theme for us – but kids could have fun painting these too).

Halloween Porch Pumpkins

You can even watch that pumpkin project on time lapse video:

And last but not least, here’s one where we actually cut our pumpkins. In 2008 we tried our hand at intricate carvings – only one of which really worked out that well, if you ask me. Which one? The monogram of course. Wow, we really do like to see letters on pumpkins don’t we?

Johnsdamaskpumpkinsmall

Monogrammedpumpkinforweb

So, with all that said (and shown) – what are you guys doing for pumpkins this year? We’d love to see links and photos if you’ve got ’em. Or if you have any great tips for including kids and toddlers in the festivities, I’m sure Clara will thank you when next Halloween rolls around…

Psst- We had some fall fun this past weekend (more over on Young House Life).

    We always have our kids draw on the pumpkins with a black marker. Then, the adults cut out the drawings as best as possible. Toddler scribbles make pretty cool designs when lit from inside. We take photos, of course, to document the art!

    I love carving pumpkins! My oldest son(almost 6) dosen’t like the feel of the insides so he usually picks what he wants carved and I do his and mine and whatever else I feel like making! My other one is only 2 so he won’t get the joy of playing with knives! I do love the finger painting idea though…we may have to try that!

We have been watch Halloween Wars on Food Network and I am convinced I can shave a pumpkin into an amazing zombie or terribly accurate face, now. Hahahaha.

    Adorable. If you could keep them dry (so you wouldn’t need to spray the gloss over them), then you cold just wash off the paint and compost them at the end. Not a criticism, just a though! :-)

    I hadn’t given any thought yet to pumpkins for this year. Last year I used puffy paint and spray paint (after seeing your post!), and I think this year I might borrow from you all again. But instead of trippy pumpkins, I might do simple spray painted colors.

    I love how focused Clara looks in some of the photos. Too cute!

    The painting is a really good idea for the babes. When my daughter was 1 last year we got a kit that you put into the pumpkin, Mr. Potato Head style. So we had a monkey, pig, and a bear. This year we let her help clean out the pumpkins before we carved them, which she loved! Then my husband carved Cinderella on her pumpkin, since that is what she is going to dress up as! I carved a “V” because I am a HUGE monogram fan too and my hubby did the creepy Grim Reaper on his. I had no idea how artistic he is. He did an amazing job.
    PS. I absolutely LOVE your blog!!!

    I’ll have to give you a link later, but my fave ever pumpkin was when my hubby carved Jack Skellington (ie the Pumpkin King from Nightmare Before Christmas) out of a green pumpkin from my mom’s yard that never ripened to orange (but was otherwise perfect). The girls (2 at the time I think) thought the guts of the pumpkin were the best ever. And speaking of, one pumpkin we saw while trick-or-treating with the girls was a standard pumpkin face but with the lower jaw broken down and the pumpkin guts spilling out. Brilliantly gross.

So after a trip to sesame place last weekend, I was inspired to paint some characters. I involved maggie, by having her sit next me while we painted. She was content with playing with the paint brushes and throwing all the stickers off of the table. haha We also purchased a mini pumpkin for her, which she decorated with halloween stickers!

    What a fun way to involve Clara in pumpkin decorating/carving. She looked like she had a good time too! We usually just carve our pumpkins so for now they’re just sitting on the walkway to our front door. We like to wait to carve until just before Halloween so they don’t get moldy and squishy. I sort of want to buy another pumpkin though so I can paint it!

    That is so adorable!

    So far, our pumpkins have only had a bath in chili oil (keeps the horde of squirrels that live in our tree from munching on them). I have plans to paint them on both sides (one creepy and one classy) so that after Halloween, we can turn them around and keep using them until Thanksgiving!

    So fun! Last week I bought my five and two year old their own mini pumpkins and turned them loose with washable paint as well… they had so much fun and the painted pumpkins last longer than carved ones!
