Nine no-carve pumpkin ideas

October 18, 2013

Have you picked your Halloween pumpkins yet? We’re heading to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch to collect our pumpkins for decorating and jack-o-lantern making when my parents come to town this weekend. While we’re there, I’m sure we’ll sample some of the fall-themed food. Perhaps hand-dipped caramel apples or freshly popped kettle corn?

This will be our third consecutive year picking pumpkins at Vala’s, and I’m especially excited because it’ll be the first year that Levi can walk the grounds himself! He’s going to have a blast exploring the various kid-friendly attractions and live shows. And I definitely want us all to take a ride on the Pumpkin Creek train — it’ll be his first train ride!

We’ve been talking up this family outing for weeks, and whenever I ask Levi what he’d like to do with all of the pumpkins we pick, his answer remains the same: “Eat the pumpkins and put a happy face on it.” I’ve been researching pumpkin crafts appropriate for toddlers (no carving knives!) and found a whole bunch of inspiring DIYs. (Obviously, some would make better projects for preschoolers than others!)

Here are nine creative no-carve pumpkin ideas. Which do you like best?

    […] No-Carve Confetti Pumpkin Bless you, Victoria at A Subtle Revelry; she put together lots of ideas for no-carve pumpkins using mere office supplies. I’m in love with these colorful no-carve confetti pumpkins that are only made with cork board pins, or paper brads with pointy tips. My kids would looooove doing this, but be sure to supervise little ones. Also, check out some of her other cool easy pumpkin decorating ideas on her blog which are really fun.

Love getting holiday cards from friends but now Im feeling like a  slacker because we havent had professional family photos taken in a couple of years. If I even get around to sending cards this year (doubtful) theyll likely have an iPhone selfie for the imageHappy to have at least one kid willing to stand in front of a random mural and smile for the cameraDiscovered a new-to-me fruit at the @westsidemarket in Cleveland: #Rambutan. They look like the offspring of a strawberry and those spiny brown balls that fall from trees but I have no idea what they taste like. Have you heard of them? Eaten them? Im so curious!Are you still in a food coma from last night or have you moved on to leftovers already?
