Fabulous pumpkins!
I've just got 11 small ones for lo's to decorate this week - we aren't carving them but painting and decorating them which I'm looking forward to - very messy play

Quick tip with the paint - use a 50/50 mixture of pva glue and poster paint and do about 3 coats. We dried our with hair dryers in between coats to dry them quicker. Glue makes the paint stick better.

They look great. We have made paper mache pumpkins using balloons and are put those artificial tea lamps in them.

Here's our daughters addition (a quivering ghost pumpkin)!!!
The paint has stayed on these but it has peeled off other things in the past. X
