Supplies
mini pumpkins (one for each child)
paint and brushes
glitter
Any other trinkets kids will use to dress their pumpkin. (When we did this last year for my nephew, he used Mr. Potato head parts and stuck them in his pumpkin.)
On the day of the party
Set up a large table and place the paint, glitter, etc. on it.
To Play
Hand out a mini pumpkin to each child.
On the count of three have them race to the decorating table.
Give them 5 minutes to decorate their pumpkin in whatever way they want.
After the 5 minutes are up have them line their pumpkins along the edge of the table.
While the pumpkins dry, have the kids clean themselves up.
When they are finished, sit in a circle and have each child present their design.
Vote on the prettiest pumpkin, most creative, scary, etc. and whoever wins gets a prize.
