Painting Miniature Pumpkins
When we were waiting for our tall painted pumpkins to dry the other day, Meg set her sights on a little white pumpkin we'd also picked up from the store. She told me it was Baby James' pumpkin, and she needed to paint it for him too.

We are going to paint our pumpkins today! Thanks for sharing such a kid-friendly activity. I'm visiting from It's Playtime link-up.

I'd not thought of painting a pumpkin before - a great idea.
How fun! We used puffy paint and glitter on ours. I love the diamond dust. Thank you for linking to The Sunday Showcase.
