Have fun! 🍊🖌
try stickers and washable markers. You could try paints that are washable, too. I have even see parts from "Mr. Potato Head" used and it was very cute.
Get pumpkins from the dollar store. Use acrylic paint.
HI Lul,
I used styrofoam pumpkins and markers with my grandkids last year. (3 & 6) Permanent markers do work the best, so I just let them know to try not to get it on their hands. LOL That was a mistake because they had to test my theory. Of course, we washed them off as much as possible but they did have stained hands for a few days. Their parents didn't care because they had so much fun. If they are going to be indoors, you could use washable markers or poster type paint. With the 3 year old, they didn't look like a "traditional" pumpkin, but who cares. The kids and fun and that's what mattered. BTW, we did this on our dining room table and all I did was cover it with an old vinyl tablecloth. I hope this helps. Have fun!
