Everyone loves fall decor, but decorating ideas are often complex and cannot always be made by children. That can change now. Here are a few quick and simple tips that will help children with crafts and let them decorate pumpkins without carving, using imaginative decoration.
Crafts with children – quick ideas without carving
For effective decorations, buy several pumpkins in different colors: white, orange and yellow. Use an apple corer to make holes in the pumpkins. Then remove the round pieces of pumpkin. Paint the pieces blue or green, then put them back together. This super-simple idea for crafts with children is suitable for children between 6 and 12 years old. Let the children color the pieces and do the rest yourself. If you can scoop out the pumpkin in advance, drill several holes with an apple corer and create an original pattern. Even if you want a Jack O'Lantern, you can use the apple corer for the eyes.
Crafts with children – cut beautiful patterns
Save yourself the carving, which requires an experienced, steady hand and always carries a risk of injury. Instead, get a loop modeling tool and trim interesting patterns into the pumpkin. Floral patterns, stars and anything else children want can be made easily with the modeling loop. And of course, the easiest way is to buy white pumpkins and pencils, then let the kids paint them. This idea of crafting with children is appropriate for young children.
