Coloring Pumpkins

Last week I was at the grocery store with Leland and we couldn’t resist the cute little white pumpkins. I bought one for each child and promised Leland they’d be able to decorate them.

Later we took out washable markers and each kid got a pumpkin and a damp rag and they colored and re-colored to their hearts content. The marker wipes right off so each pumpkin went through many renditions before the kids were through. This was a quick easy and successful Fall activity- in fact I think we’ll take the down and redecorate again this week. Maybe this time we should add some stickers!
