Halloween is the time when families get together and do fun activities, one of these activities being pumpkin decorating. Toddlers cannot carve a pumpkin so it becomes essential to find some other alternative way to allow them to decorate their pumpkins. Here is a list of pumpkin decoration ideas for toddlers that I have put together.
Pumpkin Decorating Ideas For Toddlers
Here is a list of pumpkin decoration activities that I have put together.
1. Washi tape
Washi tape is now commonly used to decorate Easter eggs and Pumpkins. Simply allow your toddler to stick this tape in any way she pleases.
Zigzag lines, with no particular pattern, can make a pumpkin look great. Just hand out the washi tape and see how creative your little ones can get.
2. Finger painting
There are no better activities than finger painting toddlers love to decorate a pumpkin. Just wrap them in aprons and then allow them to paint the pumpkin with their fingers.
3. Stamp
There are a lot of stamps available in the market. Simply dip them in an ink pad and they’re ready to be stamped all over the pumpkin.
4. Funny cut-outs
It can be interesting to cut out funny shapes like mustaches, butterflies, or even facial features. Simply draw on the desired cutouts on a thick cardboard sheet allow them to cut it out and paste on the pumpkin.
5. Glue on embellishments
This decorating idea will be loved by all the little girls. Simply buy a few varieties of beads, glitter, stones, buttons, ribbons, and other embellishments and let them stick on the pumpkin.
Your pumpkin is sure to look festive with all the embellishments.
6. Stenciling
Buy a stencil and assist your toddler in filling in the gaps in the stencil to form various designs and patterns.
Simply tape the stencil on the pumpkin and ask your child to fill it in and then peel it off to reveal the design.
7. Candy
What can be more apt than asking your toddler to stick candy on the pumpkin during Halloween?
It can be the best way to get rid of all that candy that your kid has collected and not have it land in your child’s tummy.
8. String
Give your children different colored strings and see how they spin them all over the pumpkin and create an interesting design or pattern.
9. Leaves
You can choose to let your kids stick leaves on their pumpkins, either regular green ones or orange autumn ones.
But remember if you are using the autumn orange leaves, don’t forget to paint the pumpkin a different shade so that the color of the leaves doesn’t blend in with the color of the pumpkin.
10. Dress-up
Kids love everything about being mysterious and play-acting. It will have them in peals to stick on wool for hair, hats, and even cob as noses.
You can even have a competition to see who has decorated their pumpkin pace the best.
So keep your toddlers also busy in pumpkin decorating season with these no carve pumpkin options.
