Painted Pumpkins are super fun to make and a great Autumn craft for children to do whatever their age from tiny tots to teens.\u00a0<\/strong>Traditional pumpkin carving is so tricky and dangerous for little hands, but this is something everyone can have fun with.<\/p>\n

On my way to and from work I\u2019ve been passing a farm selling pumpkins of all shapes and sizes and well\u2026I\u2019m like a kiddy in a sweetie shop, and I just can\u2019t resist. I think they\u2019re so lovely, and I really do adore being able to bring the outside in!<\/p>\n

So with a hoard of pumpkins the children and I set to creating with paint, glitter, sequins and glue<\/strong> and the end results are just lovely. So colourful and so much fun.<\/strong><\/p>\n
