Pumpkin Painting

 
I was so excited to decorate pumpkins this Halloween with Nolan.  I decided to head over to Pinterest for some ideas.  All you need is a pumpkin, painter's tape and paint.  For my pumpkins, all you need is chalkboard paint and and a liquid chalk pen. 

 Painted Jack O' Lanterns:
Step One: Cover your pumpkin with painter's tape and create a face.  Nolan wanted a happy pumpkin.
Step Two: Take an incisor knife and cut off the access tape, leaving the face.

Step Three: Let your little one paint away.
Step Four: Peel away the tape while it's still wet.  I then coated it with acrylic spray.
 

 Chalkboard Pumpkins:
I also decided to make chalkboard paint pumpkins.  This was super easy.  Paint with the chalkboard paint and let dry.  Use a liquid chalk pen to write a spooky message.
