If your kid is a big fan of Captain Underpants and they love either reading the series, or watching the movie or TV series, surprise them with a no-carve Captain Underpants pumpkin this Halloween.
Today I’ll show you how to make a Captain Underpants pumpkin without using any carving tools. All you need is black and white paint and a red piece of fabric for the cape.
Pair the Captain Underpants painted pumpkin with the Hack-A-Ween episode for a fun experience.
We love decorating our pumpkins (check out this amazing list of 21 no-carve pumpkin ideas for kids) and while I started to carve pumpkins with my boys, we also love painted a few pumpkins.

When my kids were young I would exclusively paint our pumpkins. I did it for two reasons.
I didn’t want any sharp tools around my boys and then one year when I did try to carve a pumpkin, one of the tools broke and it almost hit me in the eye. (Side note: make sure you use good quality carving tools).
I didn’t take step by step pictures of this painted Captain Underpants pumpkin but it’s a pretty straight forward process and an easy painting activity.
Kids can easily help paint the underwear and adults can help with the details.
