Pumpkin Faces
Painting pumpkin faces as Halloween pumpkin decoration is a popular Halloween craft activity for kids at Halloween time. And it is so easy to do with great results.
Pumpkin carving to create Jack o' Lantern designs requires you to use a sharp knife to cut through the hard pumpkin skin, and the whole pumpkin has to be cut open and emptied. For small children pumpkin carving can be somewhat risky, and needs close adult supervision. As a craft project at school, at home or at a Halloween party, pumpkin painting to create pumpkin faces is a safer kid's craft activity project. Personally, I think it is a lot more fun, and there are many more creative ways you can paint a pumpkin face than just cutting out yet another ghoulish and toothy Jack o' Lantern grin.
Pumpkin painting is not hard, but it helps to have some great designs to work off, and to know how to prepare the pumpkin, what paints to use and the best tools to get outstanding results. Make a good enough job, and you could even sell your pumpkin face creations at Fall craft fairs for your family or as a community fund raiser.
