25 Painted Pumpkins for Kids
Painting pumpkins are a great alternative to the carved ones: no mess and no sharp tools, so even young kids can take part in the creation process. So, we put together an impressive list of painted pumpkins for kids. Scroll down and choose your favorite. It may be your child's favorite character or a cute glow in the dark monster, or a yummy looking donut.
After moving to the States I was looking forward to carving pumpkins for Halloween and when I finally did it I loved how they looked lit up at night but didn't expect them to collapse so quickly. This is something that will never happen when you paint them.
I started painting pumpkins 3 years ago and my only regret is having to wait a whole other year to do it again.
If you're like me and LOVE painted pumpkins or just thinking of giving it a try for the first time, I'm here to offer a bit of inspiration: 25 painted pumpkins that both you and your children will love. Besides painting, some also require adding additional elements, like bows, felt or googly eyes, nothing difficult. If you're new to it, you can start by reading this tutorial on how to paint pumpkins.

So glad you like these, Lisa! I'm curious how you chose to paint your pumpkins. I always look for new ideas as I love painting pumpkins myself.
Such fun ideas. I love Olaf and the minions the best.
Thanks for sharing #LetKidsBeKids
Minions were my first painted pumpkins and these three were my inspiration.
These are great! I wish I was that creative!
It isn't as difficult as it may seem. Start with a printed image of what you want to paint.
Such awesome ideas! This is so much safer (and less messier) than carving! Thanks for linking up to #babybrainmonday x
I prefer this alternative myself
