Pumpkin Painting!

This was the first time I let the kids paint their pumpkins. I learned a few things doing this activity.

1. Brandon does not like to switch colors. I had all four kids sitting at the table with 2 paint colors each. Every 5-8 minutes I would rotate the colors, and this did not please Brandon too much.

2. Next year use Acrylic paint. I thought washable crayola paint would be great. I would not have to worry about staining their clothes. However, the paint does not stick to the pumpkins. I was going to leave them out for Thanksgiving but the chipping paint pumpkins have to go after Halloween.

3. I need to buy two more smocks. The little boys like to paint too and even though paint says it is washable I would like to do as little laundry as possible. All the Mommies can say "Amen" right now.
