dishing up creative goodness
Having small children can sometimes make pumpkin carving a bit difficult. So this year we went with something a little different and let the kids make a few varieties of pumpkins.

Each year we take the time to cut, gut, and carve out a few pumpkins. And every year we complain about the mess, the time, and the clean up. So this year we went simple! We let the kids paint pumpkins and we took an alternative approach.
We also used paints but used different kinds to make these spider web pumpkins. With the help of some spray paint and puffy paints we were able to make these super cool spider web pumpkins for our Amazing Spider-Man party and for our Halloween display.
It was super easy to do and I’m sure you’ll find it just as simple to create a pumpkin masterpiece of your own! Here’s what you do:
Spider Web Pumpkins
What you’ll Need:
What you do:
1. Paint your pumpkin with your base color. We chose to go with black.
2. Using the puffy paint, make lines going down and across the pumpkin to create your web.
3. Add a spider to the web with puffy paint and let dry completely.
Once the pumpkin is completely dry set it outside your door for everyone to enjoy!
