Each year we try to think of something different we can do with our pumpkins. Last year each of the children drew a pumpkin design onto paper. We used features from each one and but them all together on the pumpkin. The children helped to scoop out the inside and I then cut out the great design we come up with.
Next came the decorating. the children were given a mixture of tools to paint the pumpkin with this included brushes in different sizes, cotton buds and rollers. They were then let loose with the glitter and in total I think we went through four pots and I was still finding glitter in the carpet a week later.
We decorated the lid with a mixture of collaging materials such as silk flowers and wool. The children actually asked to do this as they wanted to make it into a hat.
We were all very happy with the end result and loved the glitter sparkling even with the lights off.
